In this acclaimed animated Rock & Roll feature, an aging superstar, Mok, plots to raise a demon and unleash its evil powers for his own diabolical ends. Mok's plans involve a search for a very special voice, the kidnapping of a singer named Angel, and a trip to the post-apocalyptic metropolis known as Nuke York. The action soars as Angel's band, led by her boyfriend Omar, attempts a daring rescue. With original music performed by legendary artists Blondie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, Earth Wind and Fire and a newly created 5.1 Dolby Digital surround mix accompanying a fully-restored High Definition Anamorphic Transfer, this film will blow you away!
