Directed by Sacha Gervasi (Hitchcock), a roadie-turned-filmmaker, ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL documents the heavy metal legends, Anvil! Lauded by Sundance and SXSW and an Indie Spirit Award winning true story, the film follows the band that was started in 1970s Toronto by two rock-crazy school friends, Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner. A truly real-life Spinal Tap, Anvil influenced the likes of Metallica and Anthrax, despite working in obscurity for years. Gervasi's feature was a smash hit upon its original release and reinforced Anvil's iconic status. Now, fifty years after formation, the duo continue to rock and, even further, inspire endlessly!
