Peter Jackson's three-part Beatles documentary, compiled from over 55 hours of unseen footage, as well as mostly unheard audio from 1969's Let It Be album sessions.

Painstakingly restored, The Beatles: Get Back includes "the only notable footage" of the band working in the studio, as well as their legendary rooftop performance atop Apple's London office presented in full. Jackson utilises the film restoration techniques he pioneered with 2018 WWI documentary, They Shall Not Grow Old.
