U2: RATTLE & HUM tells the behind the scenes story of an Irish rock&roll band in America. From the giant technicolor stadium celebrations to the black & white intensity of the indoor shows, this is U2 on their triumphant JOSHUA TREE tour. But amid the chaos of touring, U2 begin another journey. A journey into the heartland of two Americas. A pilgrimage to find what lies behind the romantic rock & roll icons of Elvis and Sun Studio, the musical traditions of Gospel, Blues, and Country music. Yet at the same time there is a different America reflected in U2's music, one of power and fear, of excess and poverty. Compiled from exclusive interviews with the band and the movie director, U2: RATTLE & HUM documents the making of a concert movie on an unprecedented scale, and gives an account of the internal journey which has provided the band with new influences, new perspectives and new songs. Influences that have taken U2 from Dublin to Graceland, from PRIDE to DESIRE, from THE JOSHUA TREE to RATTLE & HUM.
