Special When Lit plot

"Rediscover a lost icon"

What yielded more money than the American film industry in the 1950s and 1960s? The pinball machine. This documentary rediscovers the appeal of a long-lost pop icon. A product of the mechanical and electronic era, this American invention conquered the world and put a face on the concept of 'cool'. Now it has been relegated to a nostalgic footnote when it deserved a better fate. We get a look at fans, collectors, designers and champions from all over the world.
