A concert movie on an unprecedented scale, Rattle and Hum captures U2 - on and off stage - during their triumphant Joshua Tree tour.

Follow the group across America, exploring new influences, playing with the legendary B.B. King, on a journey which takes them from Dublin to Graceland, from San Francisco to the streets of Harlem, from The Joshua Tree to Rattle and Hum.
"Nicely shot..." Dan Lybarger, Nitrate Online

"...Remarkable intimacy....U2's music speaks...for itself..." 11/04/1988 p.C16Washington Post 8 of 10
"U2 Rattle and Hum," the new rock documentary featuring what the promotional material claims to be "the world's most popular rock band," is an exercise in rock 'n' roll hagiography. It's a fanzine on celluloid...Undeniably, the film has a stunning look, especially the color segments shot in Tempe, Ariz., by Jordan Cronenweth, but there's not much of a rationale for it. The only illuminating sequence is the one in which the band rehearses its number with B.B. King. - Hal Hinson
