What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis is a glowing, must-watch doc for Maiden fans, covering their rise from London pubs to stadiums over five decades. The band itself gets heaps of love, and the rare animated Eddie sequences are a huge hit. Some find the story beats a bit by-the-numbers, and there's noticeable grumbling about director Malcolm Venville's approach, with a few members like Steve Harris getting surprisingly little love. But for most, it’s a solid, affectionate tribute to the metal legends.
