Mission to Lars

Critically acclaimed feature documentary, Mission to Lars, is the funny and moving story of two hapless siblings’ attempts to fulfil their brother’s dream of meeting heavy metal legend Lars Ulrich, of Metallica. Tom Spicer has Fragile X syndrome, a form of autism. He has a dream, to meet his hero. His brother and sister hatch a half-baked plan to make it happen. However, their hopes of good times and bonding along the way are short lived as Tom’s disability, his dysfunctional family, and heavy metal’s labyrinthine backstage world thwart the mission at every turn. This brilliant and life-affirming film will take you on a rock ‘n’ roller-coaster ride before leaving you fist-pumping the air in celebration of one of the most entertaining documentaries ever made.
