“You’re part of one family”: Watch the first trailer for Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition

The first trailer has arrived for this spring’s Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition documentary film.

Arriving in cinemas on May 7, the heavy metal icons’ official movie not only captures the incredible story of Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers and Nicko McBrain throughout the past 50 years, but also plenty of very cool guest appearances talking up all things Maiden – from Metallica legend Lars Ulrich to actor and superfan Javier Bardem.

‘With unprecedented access to official band archives, Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition charts five decades of one of the most iconic journeys in music history,’ reads the synopsis. ‘Featuring interviews with the band and contributors such as Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D, this electrifying film offers an intimate look at their uncompromising vision and unwavering connection with their global army of fans.’

Indeed, as the description in this first look states: “If you’re an Iron Maiden fan, you’re part of one family.”
