Joy will receive its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Tuesday 15 October and launches on Netflix on Friday 22 November.
The synopsis reads: "Joy tells the remarkable true story behind the ground-breaking birth of Louise Joy Brown in 1978, the world's first 'test-tube baby', and the tireless 10-year journey to make it possible.
"Told through the perspective of Jean Purdy (Thomasin McKenzie), a young nurse and embryologist, who joined forces with scientist Robert Edwards (James Norton) and surgeon Patrick Steptoe (Bill Nighy) to unlock the puzzle of infertility by pioneering in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
"The film celebrates the power of perseverance and the wonders of science as it follows this maverick trio of visionaries who overcame tremendous odds and opposition to realise their dream, and in doing so allowed millions of people to dream with them."
The cast of Joy also includes Joanna Scanlan, Tanya Moodie, and Irish actors Eoin Duffy and Charlie Murphy.
