 "If you haven't already sold your soul to rock & roll, Almost Famous should seal the deal. It’s pure pleasure. Just don’t expect the dark side. Not since A Hard Day’s Night has a movie caught the thrumming exuberance of going where the music takes you." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Set in 1973, Almost Famous chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William, an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band Stillwater – fronted by lead guitar Russell Hammond and lead singer Jeff Bebe William – he embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band on tour, despite the objections of his protective mother.
