The film is directed by celebrated music documentarians Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films, the team behind last year’s award-winning hit 'Iron Maiden: Flight 666' and 2005’s 'Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey'. It features some of the world’s biggest rock stars talking about their love of Rush and their huge influence and inspiration on them, including Metallica’s Kirk Hamnett, KISS’ Gene Simmons, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins, Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor.
Rush is one of rock’s biggest-selling bands, ranking third for most consecutive gold or platinum studio rock albums after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Now the time has come to lift the lid on the full Rush story, to engross audiences with tales of their moving struggles through to staggering successes; all permeated with amazing anecdotes of life at the core of the rock world.
