Iron Maiden's documentary film Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition will be shown in the UK cinemas on May 7.
Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the feature‑length documentary spans Iron Maiden’s five‑decade career, and their journey from Steve Harris' East London bedroom to stadiums worldwide.
With unprecedented access to official band archives, and featuring exclusive interviews with Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Janick Gers, Nicko McBrain and manager Rod Smallwood, the film offers an intimate look at their uncompromising vision and unwavering connection with their global army of fans. It also features contributions from some famous fans, including film star Javier Bardem, Metallica's Lars Ulrich, and Public Enemy's Chuck D.
Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden have grown into one of the world’s most influential and enduring rock bands. Across 50 years they have released 17 studio albums, sold over 100 million records, and performed almost 2,500 concerts across 64 countries.
The documentary arrives as the band continues its two year Run For Your Lives world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium, the home of Steve Harris' beloved West Ham United, a short distance from where it all began five decades ago.
Tickets for the film will go on sale on March 18, here.
