When the Sex Pistols arrived on the British music scene in 1976, they were regarded by many as pariahs, a threat to both music and the culture at large, and they were banned from nearly every major venue in the U.K. by the time they broke up after a poorly-received American tour in early 1978. Three decades later, time and the very English habit of embracing misfits and underdogs had transformed the Sex Pistols from a national scandal to national heroes, and after a handful of reunion gigs, the group played a sold-out five night stand at London's Brixton Academy in November 2007 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their only studio album {^Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols}. Director Julian Temple, who had previously made two films about the band (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle and The Filth and the Fury) brought a camera crew to one of the shows, and The Sex Pistols: There'll Always Be An England documents John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock roaring through the Pistols' best known song for a rowdy and wildly appreciative audience. Selections include "Anarchy In The U.K.", "God Save The Queen", "Pretty Vacant", "Holidays In The Sun", "Problems" and many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
