Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is a 2010 documentary film directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn. The film offers an in-depth look at the Canadian progressive rock band Rush, chronicling the band's musical evolution from their progressive rock sound of the 1970s to their current heavy rock style. The film made its debut at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, where it earned the 2010 Audience Award.[1] The film was also nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at 53rd Grammy Awards, losing to "When You're Strange", a documentary about The Doors.[2] A limited theatrical run began on June 10, 2010 and the film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the US and Canada on June 29 of that year.
John Rutsey, the band's original drummer, died in 2008; tape-recorded comments from him are incorporated into the film.
