Assaulting audiences with a blend of rock, blues, R&B, and free jazz, the band (which introduced Iggy Pop to an unsuspecting world) planted the seeds for what would be called punk and alternative rock in the decades that followed. Jim Jarmusch’s new film Gimme Danger chronicles the story of The Stooges, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands of all time. The film presents the context of the Stooges emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relates their adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy.

"Like the Stooges and their music, Gimme Danger is a little wild, messy, emotional, funny, primitive, and sophisticated in the most unrefined way. Long live The Stooges!" - Jim Jarmusch
