In 1978, four die-hard rock fans make it their mission to get into a sold-out arena show. When their plans fall apart, they hit the road and spiral into a string of chaotic, anything-goes schemes—crossing paths with protesters, authority figures, and plenty of trouble—just to hear their favorite band live.
