We Are The Champions follows the

development of some the biggest

names in Rock, among them Queen,

Bruce Springsteen, The Police and

Dire Straits and shows how, through

events such as Live Aid and the rise

of MTV, rock achieved a global influence

on culture and politics. The film

concludes in the early 90s, as U2

effectively brought the era to a close by

reinventing the big rock show so

completely, that fifteen years later most

major rock tours are still pale facsimiles.
