In this musical biography of British pop legend Robbie Williams, Williams is played—with startling vitality—by none other than Williams himself! Uniquely told from Robbie's perspective, the film captures his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie's journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist -- all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.
