1977年的威斯贝克音乐节是摇滚乐迷心目中的一场传奇性户外音乐盛会,一个当时颇受欢迎的乐团「奇异果(Strange Fruit)」,因一名团员在舞台上被闪电击毙,令该团不得不被迫戏剧性地解散。 历经20年后,音乐界计画找回当年表演的团体,将在1998年举办一场纪念音乐会,此时早已破产的键盘手东尼找上了当年的经纪人凯伦, 他们两人为了让重组「奇异果」乐团,努力找寻早已失去连络的团员,却发现他们如今都已雄心不再,变成一般的平民老百姓,一心想东山再起的东尼要如何将这几个已经变老、变胖的欧里桑,重新改造成摇滚「老」乐手,好再次赢得乐迷的喜爱呢?"Strange Fruit" had everything that makes a legendary rockband: Money, Fame, Success, Groupies, a Singer who died of drugs and even a divine ending, when lightning struck the stage during an open-air. Twenty years later, all band members are minding their own businesses, the idea of a band reunion is brought up by, well, public request. Tony, the former keyboard player, sets out only to find his former friends working as a roofer, a gardener and a hotel clerk. They all became rather everyday people, married or still single, they definitely are not wild and crazy anymore. But with the help of former manager Karen, who is still dreaming of Brian, the apparently deceased lead guitarist, they all, old, fat and wrinkled as they are, try to catch that spirit again.
