Plot summary
In this movie Andy Summers tells his story from a childhood in England to becoming a superstar as The Police's guitarist.
A camera team follows Andy on 2007-06-23, the day of the Dodger Stadium concert.
The Police are first shown at their peak on 1983-12-31 at their last UK concert for a while, followed by cryptic remarks by the band members how long the band will take a break.
"27 years later" (sic!) and it's 2007-02-12 when the band announces their reunion tour. From here on Andy tells the story in chronological flashbacks: his youth in wartime England, his first guitar, his first bands, his years in Los Angeles, his return to England and finally meeting Sting and Stewart Copeland...
The movie uses a lot photographs (most of them Andy's), TV clips, flyers, tickets and press clippings to illustrate Andy's narration.

Production
The director changed in mid-production and thus the structure of the movie was rearranged. The first director Laurie Lazin filmed Andy's day during The Police's concert at Dodger Stadium on 2007-06-23. The film was originally supposed to be called One Train Later just as Andy's book - with a possible release date for 2008, then 2011... The film's structue wasn't right so with an additional director and a new title the movie was finally finished in 2012.
Release
The movie premiered on 2012-11-09 at the SVA Theatre in New York, NY, USA and was eventually released on DVD and Bluray in The Netherlands on 2013-06-26.
