Plot
Rob Reiner’s directorial debut has developed into a cult phenomenon. The film that invented the rockumentary has now outlasted most of the bands it mocked. Following the ill-fated American comeback tour of an aging heavy metal group, this film has joined the ranks of the greatest comedies ever made.
