A musical odyssey in which filmmaker Edgar Wright explores how one rock band can be successful, underrated, hugely influential and criminally overlooked - all at the same time.
Growing up in the 1960s, Los Angeles brothers Ron and Russell Sparks got by on a heavy diet of popcorn matinees and pop music until the spotlight of school talent shows illuminated their way on a musical journey as 'Sparks' and spawned 25 studio albums.
Edgar Wright's vision brings five decades of invention to life through animations and interviews, digging deeply into the band's rich, career-spanning archival, celebrating the inspiring legacy of Sparks - your favourite band's favourite band.
Features commentary from celebrity fans Flea, Jane Wiedlin, Beck, Jack Antonoff, Jason Schwartzman, Neil Gaiman and more.
