Crossfire Hurricane, which takes its title from the opening lines of “Jumping Jack Flash”, provides a remarkable new perspective on The Rolling Stones’ unparalleled journey from blues-obsessed teenagers in the early 60s to rock royalty for almost five decades. The film combines extensive historical footage, much of it widely unseen, with contemporary commentaries by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and former Stones, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. Period interviews, extensive live performance material and news archive give the production a truly kinetic aura and no-holds-barred approach.
Coinciding with the The Rolling Stones 50th anniversary, this commemorative documentary pays tribute to the extraordinary success of the band, directed by Academy Award-nominated Brett Morgan (The Kid Stays in the Picture). Crossfire Hurricane will have its world premiere at a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival later this month.
Crossfire Hurricane will screen in select cinemas nationally on Sunday 28 October with encore screenings at some cinemas. Tickets are on sale soon from participating select Event Cinemas, Hoyts Cinemas, Village Cinemas and independent cinemas nationally.
