Spinal Tap has come to be recognized as England’s loudest and most punctual band. In the legendary rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, now beautifully restored, Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) embark on their final American tour, with filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) capturing all the mishaps, creative tensions, dwindling crowds, and ill-fated drummers. This Is Spinal Tap takes DiBergi’s brilliant vérité style and turns it up to eleven!

Release Notes on Restoration
This Is Spinal Tap is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Supervised and approved by director Rob Reiner, this new 4K restoration was created from the 16 mm original camera negative and a 35 mm blow-up interpositive. The 5.1 Dolby surround soundtrack was created from the original 35 mm magnetic stems. The feature is presented in Dolby Vision HDR (high dynamic range) on the 4K Ultra HD and high-definition SDR (standard dynamic range) on the Blu-ray.
