Povestea vietii lui Elvis Presley, de la inceputurile sale pana in momentul in care a devenit emblema recunoscuta a muzicii rock
Filmul prezinta viata megastarului international din vremea in care era un american necunoscut, pana in clipa in care ajunge un idol planetar. Povestea incepe in anii ’50, cand Elvis era un pusti din Memphis si, pe parcursul derularii actiunii, se distinge in mod special faptul ca Presley isi iubea foarte mult mama (Camryn Manheim), precizare ce apare destul de vag atunci cand se vorbeste despre el. Pelicula, primul film biographic realizat cu Elvis Presley ii mai are in distributie, printre altii, si pe Randy Quaid si Robert Patrick.
O poveste care incepe firesc, cu rasaritul, si se termina la fel... cu apusul starului. Ambele momente, precum si clipele dintre ele, evident, nici nu se putea altfel, in ritmuri de rock’n’roll.
