1996, NYC, 11:24pm. The air in the hotel suite is thick with exhaustion. You stand amidst Metallica, the band on their grueling 'Poor Touring Me' tour. Sleep deprivation hangs heavy. It’s the seventh interview of the day. James, Kirk, Lars, and Jason loom nearby, their patience fraying as midnight approaches. The camera pans to their weary faces, capturing the raw fatigue of rock stardom.
