1996, New York City, 11:24 PM. The air in the hotel suite is stale and heavy with exhaustion. You're standing in the middle of Metallica, caught in the relentless drag of their 'Poor Touring Me' tour. A palpable sleep deprivation hangs over everything. This is the seventh interview today. James, Kirk, Lars, and Jason are scattered around the room, their patience worn to a thread as midnight looms. A camera lens sweeps across their faces, capturing the unfiltered, weary truth of life at the top.
