La reine Élisabeth 1ère est envoyée dans le futur par l'occultiste John Dee. Elle débarque dans l'Angleterre tumultueuse de la fin des années 1970. Elle évolue dans le décor d'une ville en pleine décadence sociale et matérielle, en observant les agissements d'une bande de nihilistes, Amyl Nitrate, Bod, Chaos, Crabs et Mad.

Un "documentaire" post-rupture des Sex Pistols plutôt incohérent, raconté du point de vue du manager des Pistols Malcolm McLaren, dont la position (discutable) est que les Sex Pistols en particulier et le punk rock en général étaient une arnaque élaborée perpétrée par lui dans l'ordre faire «un million de livres».

Documentary about fetish clothing scene in 70s Britain.

Julien Temple's wartime documentary parody "Punk Can Take It" (1979) - a theatrically released promo for the UK Subs, complete with narration by BBC voice-over veteran John Snagge - paints a glorious picture of England in a punk rock "identity crisis". Punk morale was higher than ever before. Punks were fused together not by fear, but by a surging spirit of revenge, immortality, and the courage never to submit or yield. This proved that punk won't go away and that punks themselves are becoming younger and nastier everyday. They have no time for the precarious thrills of nostalgia nor for its trivial rules.

Prospero, a potent magician, lives on a desolate isle with his virginal daughter, Miranda. He's in exile, banished from his duchy by his usurping brother and the King of Naples. Providence brings these enemies near; aided by his vassal the spirit Ariel, Prospero conjures a tempest to wreck the Italian ship. The king's son, thinking all others lost, becomes Prospero's prisoner, falling in love with Miranda and she with him. Prospero's brother and the king wander the island, as do a drunken cook and sailor, who conspire with Caliban, Prospero's beastly slave, to murder Prospero. Prospero wants reason to triumph, Ariel wants his freedom, Miranda a husband; the sailors want to dance.

Insultes, crachats, irreverence et violence, le groupe Sex Pistols est l'un des plus célebres représentants du mouvement punk londonien. La folle ascension de Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, Sid Vicious et Paul Cook dans la deuxième moitié des années soixante-dix, période de grève et de misère pour la classe ouvrière de Grande-Bretagne, n'aura duré que l'espace de vingt-six mois et un seul album.
