This documentary is a fascinating look at the cinematic genius of Alfred Hitchcock. Briefly covering much of his early British works, the film primarily focuses on his American classics, such as "Shadow of a Doubt", "Notorious", "Rear Window", "Vertigo", "Psycho" and "The Birds". The movie also covers his television years and neatly examines the Hitchcock signature touches, from his inevitable brief cameo to his famous MacGuffin. Kevin Spacey narrates, and there are interviews with his delightful daughter Pat as well as such film directors as Brian De Palma, Jonathan Demme, Curtis Hanson, Robert Altman, Ronald Neame and Peter Bogdanovich, along with cast and crew members Tippi Hedren, Joseph Stefano, Norman Lloyd, Robert F. Boyle, Teresa Wright and Janet Leigh.

摇滚乐在披头四、猫王之后，乐风出现了转折。社会上一片颓废、荒芜，音乐上也大胆地向美好的美国梦挑战。首先，性手枪合唱团将朋克音乐导入主流风潮，然而，虽然他们名闻遐迩，但颠峰状态并没有维持太久，终究没有到达1960年代披头四、滚石合唱团的地位。其它摇滚乐团如MC五人组、地下丝绒乐团、佩蒂史密斯乐团、门都蔚为风尚，他们的曲风可说前所未见，虽然有时略为粗糙，但表现形式更为愤怒、暴烈、狂野、震撼，也是迷幻年代的最高峰。这个时期文化上的特色即是大环境弥漫了反社会的意识型态、虚无的忧郁、疯狂的性爱与毒品、脱缰的暴力与一片浑沌。 本集介绍了朋克音乐的起源，包括Iggy Pop及纽约玩偶乐团。看朋克音乐如何在纽约大整合，包括理察海尔、电台司令及佩蒂史密斯乐团。并介绍朋克音乐在英国的兴衰，及The Clash最早期的演出。
