Le 19 août 2005, à la veille de son 56e anniversaire, une statue de Phil Lynott a été dévoilée à Grafton Street à Dublin par sa mère. Des membres de Thin Lizzy de toute la carrière du groupe ont assisté à l’événement. Le soir suivant, ils ont uni leurs forces sous la direction de Gary Moore pour un concert qui a rendu hommage à la mémoire de Lynott.

When Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott died on 4 January 1986, he was 36 years old. His early death from a drug-related illness placed him in the same rock 'n' roll league as his idols Elvis and Jimi Hendrix. This documentary looks behind the image to reveal the strains of life in the fast lane. It also focuses on Lynott as family man, writer, and black Irishman with a Brazilian father. Includes contributions from Bono, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Scott Gorham, and Lynott's wife Caroline Crowther, who speaks publicly for the first time. (Radio Times)

Quatre membres d'équipage d'un vaisseau spatial militaire sont confrontés à un dilemme insondable après que leur vaisseau soit attaqué, leur laissant seulement assez d'air pour que deux d'entre eux retournent à la base en vie. Dans un combat pour la survie, chaque membre d'équipage doit décider s'il doit accepter son destin ou trahir ses amis, à mesure que les tensions augmentent et que l'air s'échappe lentement du vaisseau spatial estropié.

Affectionate but honest portrait of Thin Lizzy, arguably the best hard rock band to come out of Ireland. Starting with the remix of the classic album Jailbreak by Scott Gorham and Brian Downie, the film takes us through the rollercoaster ride that is the story of Thin Lizzy. From early footage of singer Phil Lynott in Ireland in his pre-Lizzy bands the Black Eagles and Orphanage, it follows his progress as he, guitarist Eric Bell and drummer Brian Downie form the basic three-piece that was to become Thin Lizzy - a name taken from the Beano. Using original interviews with Bell, Downie, the man who signed them and their first manager, it traces the early years leading to the recruitment of guitarists Brian 'Robbo' Robertson and Scott Gorham - the classic line-up. The film uses a number of stills, some seen on TV for the first time, archive from contemporary TV shows and a range of tracks both well known and not so famous.

Phil Lynott was Ireland's first rock and roll international superstar. His hard man image helped him stand out to the world as one of the most influential rockers of the 1970’s. Explore Phil’s life and career as he paths the way in the rock giants Thin Lizzy.
