Blink-182’s Travis Barker survived a plane crash that killed four. A new documentary celebrates the life he rebuilt

Just three minutes into the documentary "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear," police dashcam video captures the fiery 2008 plane crash in South Carolina that killed four people and left the Blink-182 drummer as a survivor.

Spanning the years 2017 to 2026, the documentary celebrates Barker's life both before and after the transformative accident, a defining moment in a milestone-filled career. The project initially served as a screen adaptation of his 2015 memoir, "Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums." However, the narrative evolved after a producer suggested closing the film with Barker—then unable to fly because of post-traumatic stress disorder—merely walking toward a plane.
