"Noel Marshall's notorious feature gets the wild documentary it's always deserved."

--Indiewire

This is a documentary about the feature film ROAR (1981) one of the great Hollywood disaster stories of all time. 

ROAR was meant to be a family-friendly action adventure, completed in one year at a cost of one million dollars by writer / director / producer / star Noel Marshall… but after eleven years of production, the result was seventy maulings of cast and crew, a 500% budget overrun, a flood that wiped out the set, twenty escaped lions roaming the outskirts of Los Angeles, financial and career suicide for star Tippi Hedren, plastic surgery for her teenage daughter Melanie Griffith, the scalping of cinematographer Jan DeBont, and a final film so awful and bizarre, even by late 70’s standards, it would take another 35 years to see the light of day and become a cult classic.
