“Iron Maiden: Flight 666,” winner of the SXSW Festival Award for Best Music Documentary, will be touching down exclusively on Saturday, June 6, (6-6) on VH1 Classic and Palladia — MTV Networks’ high-definition music channel at 9 p.m. and VH1 at 12 midnight.
On February 8, 2008, British heavy rock legends Iron Maiden embarked on the most ambitious and adventurous tour in rock history. For the first time ever the band gave full access to a film crew to document their journey and this resulted in the critically acclaimed, full-length documentary film, “Iron Maiden: Flight 666.”
Circumnavigating around the globe and five continents in just 45 days, the band flew in a specially customized Boeing 757 airliner, piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson. With the entire touring crew and 12 tons of music and stage equipment on board, Astraeus Airline Captain Dickinson and his air crew flew 50,000 miles, taking in 23 sold-out stadium and arena shows across Asia, Australia and North, Central and South America, performing to almost half a million fans in the process.
The plane was christened “ED FORCE ONE” by their fans, after Iron Maiden mascot Eddie, a perennial fixture in the band’s album cover art as well as in their live shows.
“Iron Maiden: Flight 666″ is an inspirational account of the chaotic and often humorous world of a band touring the four corners of the world, giving a behind-the-scenes look at what happens on and off stage. Delivering some of the most spectacular live footage ever seen of the band, “Iron Maiden: Flight 666″ takes viewers from Mumbai to Santiago, L.A. to Sydney, Tokyo to Sao Paolo and many major cities between. Through drama, excitement and fan pandemonium, the film is an honest and revealing portrait of one of the world’s most successful rock bands.
