Summary

The Who's seminal double album Tommy, released in 1969, is a milestone in rock history. It revitalized the band's career and established Pete Townshend as a composer and Roger Daltrey as one of rock's foremost frontmen. The first album to be overtly billed as a rock opera, Tommy has gone on to sell over 20 million copies around the world. The film explores the background, creation, and impact of Tommy through new interviews with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, and archive interviews
