该片记录了披头士1964年首度访问美国的空前盛况，重温激动人心、历史性的一刻。更有从未曝光的珍贵修复片段，回顾乐坛经典披头士的传奇时刻。

TWST takes as its starting point the arrival of the Beatles in New York for their August 1965 concert at Shea Stadium, and as its title a Beatles song that already anticipates a time when the present moment will have become a haunting past, neither retrievable nor forgettable. But the frame of reference steadily broadens. Adjacent realities of 1965 are juxtaposed—the New York World’s Fair, the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television. A cast of thousands summoned up—each separate sphere, each face and place given equal weight, each instant a center. Within these domains ghostly uncorporeal presences circulate, their words audible—figures of vanished youth still inhabiting these locations whose gritty photographic textures confirm their reality. A journey to the hidden core of that world both gone and palpably present.

大导演马丁·西科塞斯在制作鲍勃·迪伦、滚石乐队的纪录片之后，他将目光转向了乔治·哈里逊，这位一直被约翰·列侬光芒掩盖的披头士的吉他手。本片片长达3个半小时，采访了Eric Clapton、特里·吉列姆、Eric Idle, George Martin, 保罗·麦卡特尼, 小野洋子、林格·斯塔尔等诸多牛人，挖掘了哈里逊的人生与职业生涯，包括后来单飞，做电影制片、搞慈善等等。

在第一部上映40周年之际，这部传奇摇滚伪纪录片的续集让电影公司取得了一连串的成功。

保罗·麦卡特尼在披头士乐队解散后组建了新乐队羽翼（Wings）。影片收录了他与琳达的生活档案家庭录像，展现了她对他的音乐所产生的影响。该片记录了羽翼乐队从组建到整个20世纪70年代的发展历程，期间麦卡特尼创作了许多热门歌曲。

Between 1962 and 1970, The Beatles released 27 No. 1 hit singles in the U.S. and the U.K. In 2000, these timeless songs were collected for The Beatles 1, which topped the charts in 35 countries and became that decade's bestselling album worldwide. 15 years later, 1 is revisited for this entirely new, visually-inspired presentation.
