The Beatles get together to record what would be their last album, Let It Be. They rehearse on a large, bleak sound stage with the intention of making a documentary for television. The songs are their infancy at this point, recognizable melodies, a few phrases, but still need a lot of work. The band members argue and bicker about their direction. This seems to go on forever. Finally, they go to the Apple Records basement to record and things lighten up considerably. They actually look to be having fun. They go to to the roof and give their now famous impromptu performance, their last as a band. A mixed bag to be sure, Beatles fans will love it, the rest will watch and wonder why it seems like such a big deal.
