Plot summary
Iron Maiden close out the Brave New World Tour with a headline slot at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil in 2001. The crowd numbers around a quarter of a million, fewer than the audience the band drew at the same event in 1985, and the show reaches a television audience of millions worldwide. The set draws on Brave New World, including The Wicker Man and its title track, alongside well-known songs Run to the Hills and Iron Maiden, and reaches back to the Blaze Bayley era for Sign of the Cross and The Clansman. Eighteen cameras film the concert, with further footage gathered during the band's South American dates, and the result becomes the group's first concert DVD as well as a double live album.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Iron Maiden: Rock In Rio 2001 (2002)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- While filming at Rock in Rio, singer Bruce Dickinson found a camera blocking the ladder up to his catwalk and promptly destroyed it, after a "little temperamental moment" over where cameras had been placed.
- Steve Harris ended up editing the Rock in Rio DVD himself after the hired editors' "styling decisions", including deliberately out of focus shots of the lighting rig, horrified the band and the crew lost footage from two cameras, leaving few shots of guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.
- Director Dean Karr captured the Rio concert with eighteen cameras and shot extra DVD footage throughout the South American tour, including a Chile show where cameras were attached to the band's guitars and to Bruce Dickinson's shoulders.
- Bassist Steve Harris had to stay firmly within his own area for the whole Rock in Rio show because the PA malfunctioned on the edge of the stage, so he could not interact with the crowd as much as he wanted.
