PISTOL

Desperate to escape the bleak future that society has decreed for him; charismatic Steve Jones convinces Malcolm McLaren to manage his band.

As Steve grasps his final chance and attempts to learn guitar in five days; a fury named Johnny Rotten arrives on the scene and the Sex Pistols are born.

As Steve and Chrissie Hynde begin to make more than just music; the Pistols begin to wreak anarchy in the U.K. and Johnny Rotten takes deeper inspiration from a grieving young woman.

The idyllic moment where success is not yet fame; is soon obliterated when the band shocks the nation out of its tea-time torpor. The resulting media frenzy causes egos to explode.

As Nancy and Sid’s love ignites; Sid becomes increasingly lost to heroin and violence. A plan is hatched to get rid of Nancy; but on a riverboat stunt chaos takes hold.

Malcolm decides the Sex Pistols have become too much like a rock band; famous; inaccessible – so he must blow them up. Johnny leaves the band; and a heroin-ridden Sid becomes lead singer.
