In 1977, BBC music presenter Bob Harris was given exclusive and extensive access to the Queen. Conducting insightful interviews with all four band members as well as filming them at work in the studio as they were planning and rehearsing their forthcoming North American Tour, and then following them as they performed across the US, Bob captured a band attempting to replicate their huge domestic success on the global stage. To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the News of the World album, the footage has now been carefully restored and revisited to compile this hour-long portrait of a group setting out to take the next step on their remarkable journey to becoming one of the biggest bands on the planet.

En 1971, cuatro estudiantes universitarios se unieron para formar una banda de rock. Desde entonces, esa cierta banda llamada Queen ha lanzado 26 álbumes y vendido más de 300 millones de discos en todo el mundo. La popularidad de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor y John Deacon es más fuerte que nunca 40 años después. Pero no era un lecho de rosas. Sin crucero de placer. Queen tuvo su parte de patadas en la cara, pero lo lograron y así es como lo hicieron, en el contexto de una música brillante e impresionantes actuaciones en vivo de todos los rincones del mundo. En esta película, por primera vez, es la banda la que cuenta su historia. Con entrevistas completamente nuevas con la banda y material de archivo invisible (incluida su primera actuación televisiva recientemente descubierta), es una historia convincente contada con inteligencia, ingenio, mucho humor y dolorosa honestidad.
