Plot summary
In 1999 Tower Records took in a billion dollars, with two hundred stores across thirty countries and five continents, a chain that traced back to its founder, Russ Solomon. Its New York City location at East 4th Street and Broadway advertised itself as the largest record and tape store in the known world. In 2006 the chain filed for bankruptcy. The film traces that arc and the upheavals that reshaped the recording industry in the twenty-first century as the business moved to digital downloads. Its title comes from a sign a former employee left outside an old store. Production took seven years and a Kickstarter round of ninety-two thousand dollars.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about All Things Must Pass (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Colin Hanks's documentary on Tower Records took seven years to make and was finished in 2015 only after a Kickstarter round raised $92,000.
- Hanks settled on his title after driving by an old Tower Records store and seeing a sign a former employee had put up there reading "All Things Must Pass Thanks Sacramento".
- Moved by the sign, Hanks was reminded of George Harrison's 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass and asked the artist's widow, Olivia Harrison, for permission to use the title; he was also allowed to play the album's title track over the end credits.
