Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage

Guitarist Alex Lifeson and bassist-vocalist Geddy Lee, high school friends from Toronto, search for a drummer to complete their band's sound. In 1974, they are joined by virtuoso Neil Peart, whose technical prowess and philosophical lyrics become the group's signature. The camera traces the trio across four decades of musical evolution — from the sprawling progressive-rock epics of the '70s to the streamlined hard rock of the '80s and electronic explorations of the '90s. The documentary unveils not just a creative journey but a profound human bond, a rare brotherhood in rock that endures through fame, personal tragedy, and shifting musical landscapes.
