The band you know. The story you don't.

Academy Award winner Ron Howard's feature documentary features rare and exclusive footage and was produced with the full cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison. The Beatles: Eight Days a Week is based on the first part of The Beatles' career (1962-1966) - the period in which they toured and captured the world's acclaim. It explores how John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to become this extraordinary phenomenon, "The Beatles." Their inner workings - how they made decisions, created their music and built their collective career together - are investigated, all the while paying tribute to The Beatles' incredible and unique musical gifts and their remarkable, complementary personalities. The Beatles: Eight Days a Week focuses on the time period from the early Beatles journey in the days of The Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966.
