Hendrix

Description

On stage, Jimi Hendrix electrified audiences with his powerful guitar playing and mesmerizing performances. But behind the scenes, this rising star was on crash course with destiny. Filled with the boundary-pushing music that made him an icon and starring a fantastic ensemble cast, including Wood Harris (Remember the Titans), Billy Zane (Titanic), Dorian Harewood (Sudden Death) and Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day), Hendrix is an eye-popping "re-creation of theera of peace, love and psychedelic guitar riffs" (The Hollywood Reporter)! Raised on the wrong side of the tracks, young Jimi Hendrix knew that his music was going to be his ticket togreatness. Discovered by an unscrupulous manager (Zane) and put on an exhausting world tour, Hendrix was pushed to the limit but it paid off. Stunning audiences at Monterey and Woodstock, this ground-breaking artist was clearly on his way up. Until fame led him into a dark haze of drugs and alcohol a course that would fatally end his euphoric rise to the top.
