Filmmaker Colin Hanks examines the history of Tower Records, from its rise and fall to the legacy forged by its rebellious founder Russ Solomon.

The film is about the rise and demise of Tower Records, the retail giant that once advertised its East 4th Street and Broadway New York City location as "The Largest Record-Tape Store in the Known World". It also offers insights into the critical upheavals in the 21st-century recording industry.
