That Thing You Do! (1996)

In the wake of the British Invasion, after the Beatles captivated America in early 1964, a captivating fable unfolds—a tale as timeless as rock and roll itself. Enter the Wonders, originally named the Oneders, a pop-rock band birthed in the heart of Erie, Pennsylvania. This motley crew of likeable teenagers finds an unexpected hero in Guy Patterson, a jazz aficionado languishing in the family appliance store. When the band's regular drummer, Chad, suffers a broken arm, it paves the way for Guy to beat a fresh four/four rock rhythm into their music. Suddenly, a humble garage band metamorphoses into a nationwide spectacle, all thanks to a catchy single that Guy transforms from a languishing ballad into a pop-rock anthem. Their meteoric rise to fame mirrors the journey of countless American bands who dared to chase the elusive brass ring of rock and roll, hoping to etch their names in the annals of music history. However, as the Wonders bask in the whirlwind of their newfound success, a lingering question hangs in the air—just how long can they stand in the dazzling spotlight atop the zenith of the music world? This engaging story of dreams, music, and the ephemeral nature of fame promises to keep viewers intrigued, humming to the tune of youthful ambition and the pulse of the beat.
