Thriller 40 plot

"The album that changed it all."

Forty years after the release of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', the world's best-selling album of all time, director Nelson George takes fans back in time to experience the making of the record-breaking album and the accompanying short films. With never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews, the documentary tells the story of the creation of a world phenomenon from a time before the internet. 'Thriller' made Michael Jackson a global star and the album continues to influence all aspects of culture and entertainment today, including the worlds of music, dance and fashion.

Nice, if somewhat messy documentary that celebrates the 40th anniversary of the iconic Thriller album. Many nice anecdotes from those involved and words of praise from all kinds of well-known admirers. Certain tracks get short shrift and of course Billie Jean, Beat It and the title song once again get the most attention, but there is also plenty to enjoy from lesser-known stories. For example, I had not heard of the fuss about the album of ET The Extra-Terrestrial narrated by Michael Jackson.
