Plot – Spinal Tap is an experienced English hard rock band who is leaving for a tour in the USA. A documentary filmmaker goes with them, determined to capture every moment of their days to get "the smell of Rock'N’Roll". However, they have to face many difficulties: the time of their success is gone, many dates get cancelled and the new album has an awful cover that gets censored. As if it wasn’t enough, the two leaders, the singer and the guitarist who are friends since they were kids, are in disagreement because of the frequent intrusions of the singer’s wife.
All actors – Rob Reiner, Kimberly Stringer, Chazz Dominguez, Shari Hall, R.J. Parnell, David Kaff, Tony Hendra, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Bruno Kirby, Jean Cromie

“We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.”
