Cochran, who died at age 21 in 1960, was a pioneering figure in rock music and his legacy continues to be felt today.

The film features interviews with legendary musicians such as Keith Richards, Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, Sting, Ronnie Wood, Roger Daltrey, John Waters, Billy Idol, and Yungblud, who all share their perspectives on Cochran's impact.

In a statement that encapsulates the enduring power of Cochran's music, Yungblud declares, "There ain't no punk rock without Eddie Cochran." Additionally, the documentary includes commentary from family members of Cochran, providing a personal and emotional perspective on his life and art.
