;

A young musician, tormented by an abusive situation at home, must contend with a rival singer, a burgeoning romance, and his own dissatisfied band, as his star begins to rise.

Take a richly-human story of survival and triumph, a new soundtrack by the hottest bands around and the startling presence and musicality of rock superstar Prince – the man who lived the music – and you’ve got what may be in Rolling Stone’s words "the smartest, most spiritually ambitious rock-’n’-roll movie ever made".
