HBO Preview: The Rolling Stones documentary “Crossfire Hurricane” [VIDEO AND PHOTOS] 

Tonight on HBO, there’s a documentary we’ll definitely watch. It’s called Crossfire Hurricane and at the center of this particular storm is legendary British rock ‘n roll band the Rolling Stones. The film documents key periods in their career and their incredible adventures.

Synopsis: Crossfire Hurricane, directed by Brett Morgen, provides a remarkable new perspective on the Stones’ unparalleled journey from blues-obsessed teenagers in the early ‘60s to rock royalty. It’s all here in panoramic candour, from the Marquee Club to Hyde Park, from Altamont to “Exile,” from club gigs to stadium extravaganzas.

With never-before-seen footage and fresh insights from the band themselves, the film will delight, shock and amaze longtime devotees, as well as another generation of fans, with its uniquely immersive style and tone. Crossfire Hurricane places the viewer right on the frontline of the band’s most legendary escapades.

Taking its title from a lyric in “Jumping Jack Flash,” Crossfire Hurricane gives the audience an intimate insight, for the first time, into exactly what it’s like to be part of the Rolling Stones, as they overcame denunciation, drugs, dissensions and death to become the definitive survivors. It’s the backstage pass to outdo them all.

The odyssey includes film from the Stones’ initial road trips and first controversies as they became the anti-Beatles, the group despised by authority because they connected  and communicated with their own generation as no one  else ever had. “When we got together,” says Wyman, “something magical happened, and no one could ever copy that.”

Crossfire Hurricane debuts tonight on HBO @ 9/8c.
