Hilarious satirical 'rockumentary' which follows the ageing British heavy metal band Spinal Tap - David St Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, Derek Smalls and their latest hapless drummer - on the comeback trail, promoting their album Smell the Glove on a US tour. The film features many moments that have passed into legend - Stonehenge, exploding drummers, and amplifiers that go up to 11.
