The documentary offers an intimate look at the Fab Four, namely John Lennon, Starr, McCartney, and George Harrison, in the peak of Beatlemania. It tells the story of their arrival in New York City and groundbreaking performance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Rare footage from documentarians Albert and David Maysles that is restored in 4K provides a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in music history.
