Fans can also expect appearances from legendary figures like Dave Mustaine, Lou Brutus, and Rick Rubin, all sharing their perspectives on how Metallica’s music shaped the evolution of heavy metal. The film highlights the making of their latest tour, M72, which shattered attendance records worldwide and demonstrated that Metallica’s sound remains as fierce and relevant as ever.
The documentary is directed by F. Gary Gray, known for Straight Outta Compton and The Fate of the Furious, bringing his cinematic vision to capture the band’s essence — the fire, the tension, and the triumph. Combined with remastered live performances and never-before-heard demo tracks, this promises to be one of Netflix’s biggest music releases of the year.
