"A Truly Great Rock & Roll Movie!"-Hollywood Rock
Britain, 1958: Restless at school and bored with his life, Jim McLain (David Essex) leaves home to take a series of low-level jobs at a seaside amusement park. With the help of his new friend Mike (Ringo Starr), he soon discovers a wild world of cheap sex and petty crime. But when that world comes to a shockingly brutal end, Jim returns home to face his future. As the local music scene explodes, Jim must decide between the life of adult responsibility or a new phenomenon called Rock & Roll.
This honest and gritty drama is said to be based on the early life of John Lennon and considered by fans and critics alike to be the best depiction of the 1950's British rock scene. That'll Be The Day also features a soundtrack of classic songs by The Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion, Del Shannon and more, as well as David Essex's #1 Hit "Rock On."
