This Is Spinal Tap is a mockumentary that follows the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap on their American tour. Directed by Rob Reiner, the film satirizes the pretentiousness and absurdities of the rock music industry. Through interviews and concert footage, the band members are shown dealing with diminishing popularity, internal conflicts, and various mishaps. The film is notable for its improvisational style and has become a cult classic for its humor and clever critique.
