Plot summary
A documentary about the Ramones, built from archival footage and new conversations. The band came together in Forest Hills, Queens, in the early 1970s, and some of its first shows were at CBGB's in New York. Members of its various lineups sit for interviews, as do friends, family members and contemporaries from the punk scene, along with childhood friends of the members. Footage of early performances runs alongside those talks. The project began in 1994 as an attempt to follow a final year on the road, ran into trouble with the band's management, and started over in 1998. The title comes from the band's 1980 album, End of the Century.
