SYNOPSIS:  Nominated for two Academy Awards and featuring the Beatles in their film debut, is one of the greatest rock-and-roll comedy adventures ever. The year is 1964 and four young lads from Liverpool are about to change the world -- if only the madcap world will let them out of their hotel room. Richard Lester's boldly contemporary rock n' roll comedy unleashes the fledgling Beatles into a maelstrom of screaming fans, paranoid producers, rabid press and troublesome family members, and reveals the secret of their survival and success: an insatiable lust for mischief and a life-affirming addiction to joy.
