A precocious teenage journalist lands an assignment from Rolling Stone to cover a rising rock band in the early 1970s. Swept up in the exhilaration and excess of life on the road, he discovers the blurred line between fandom and reporting.

Cameron Crowe’s faultlessly tender, nostalgic, and autobiographical look back at his coming-of-age during the golden age of rock is also his best film. It’s all here: a witty Oscar®-winning script; perfect rock soundtrack; sun-dappled cinematography; and Kate Hudson and Billy Crudup, radiating love.
