Overview: The music of Queen and the Velvet Underground instilled a sense of destiny in 3 teenagers living in 1970s Norway. That dream led to a-ha: featuring keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, vocalist Morten Harket, and guitarist Pål Waktaar-Savoy.

Take on Me was one of the biggest pop songs ever made and made these teens global superstars. 36 years and 50 million albums later, a-ha still sells out arenas worldwide - but can they mend broken friendships to get on stage and create new music still?

Blu-ray Verdict: When a-ha’s breakthrough hit Take On Me shot to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1985, it turned its three young band members into global superstars overnight. While the iconic song and its groundbreaking music video remain ubiquitous to this day, the story of a-ha didn’t end there.

After 35 years, a deep catalog of 11 studio albums and 55 million units sold – despite controversies and disagreements – a-ha continues to record music and play to packed arenas around the world.

Following Mags, Morten and Pal over a period of four years, a-ha: The Movie provides unprecedented access to the inner workings of the band as well as a career spanning look at one of the most enduring and beloved acts in pop music history.

Everybody remembers the iconic video, but most Americans don’t know that there have been 10 studio albums and 5 live albums since their debut. a-ha: The Movie follows the band over their entire career, telling the full story of how three young men followed their impossible dream of becoming worldwide pop stars and what happened after that.

a-ha still creates magic on stage with their melancholic and timeless music. They tour the world but drive in separate cars and stay apart backstage. They only meet on stage, while doing the one thing they love. All this is clearly shown here in this breathtakingly open new documentary.

Indeed, the film closely portrays the challenging creative and personal dynamics of a group of three strong individuals. A story of great music, big ambitions, broken friendship - and maybe forgiveness, a-ha: The Movie is not only a visual testament to the hard work put in over the decades by three guys to remain viable within a fickle industry, but an open diary to what has gone on between them over those very same decades; personally, and professionally.

This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Bonus Feature of 3 Deleted Scenes.
