This new documentary gives a comprehensive exploration of the history of legendary Canadian power trio, Rush (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart) � from their early days growing up in the suburbs of Toronto, through their landmark albums and tours, and finishing with them in the present day.
Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn ("Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" & "Iron Maiden: Flight 666") tell us the story of the band by combining extremely rare and never-before-seen interviews with current interviews from some of the band's admirers and contemporaries. These interviews include Gene Simmons (KISS), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Trent Reznor (NIN), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Kirk Hammett (Metallica) Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Jack Black, and many more.
