Synopsis

Released in March 1987, U2's *The Joshua Tree* rapidly became the fastest-selling album in British chart history, selling nearly 250,000 copies in its first week. It achieved equal success in the US, topping the Billboard album chart for nine weeks and remaining in the Top 40 for 58 weeks, ultimately winning a Grammy for Album of the Year. This film chronicles the creation of *The Joshua Tree* through interviews and archival footage, featuring insights from Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. U2’s manager Paul McGuinness discusses how the album propelled the band to rock superstardom, alongside perspectives from Elvis Costello, a devoted U2 fan; remix producer Steve Lillywhite; and co-producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Filled with recollections and compelling performances, this is the story of one of the most celebrated albums of the 1980s, a true classic.
