Backbeat

He had to choose between his best friend... the woman he loved... and the greatest rock & roll band in the world.

Directed by Iain Softley (K-PAX), Backbeat is an energetic, musical drama chronicling the pre-fame Beatles as they head to Hamburg in serach of Sutcliffe (Stephen Dorff), falls in love and ultimately must choose between his best friend John Lennon, his new love (Sheryl Lee) and the greatest rock and roll band in the world.

Full of vitality and heart, with a soundtrack that includes rock and roll classics, including music from Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), David Pirner (Soul Asylum) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.), "Backbeat is a thrilling spectacle that rocks the house... Defiant, raucous, erotic." -Rolling Stone
