This Is Spinal Tap

Satirical 'rockumentary' following 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, including exploding drummers and amplifiers that go up to 11.

Tagline

Prepare to crank those amps up to eleven.
