Brothers first. The band forever. Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Frank Marshall, the film follows the Brothers Gibb: Barry, Maurice and Robin, better known as the Bee Gees, from their early fame in the 1960s and meteoric rise to a storied career in which they wrote more than 1,000 songs, including 20 number-one hits.

“In Our Own Time” is the compelling story of the Bee Gees career. From their roots in the North West of England, through their early career in Australia, their return to England and international breakthrough in the late sixties and then on to global superstardom with “Saturday Night Fever” and beyond. Alongside the success there is the heartache of the tragically early deaths of first their younger brother Andy and then later Maurice. The story is told “in their own words” through in depth new interviews with Barry and Robin Gibb and through extensive interviews with Maurice filmed shortly before his death in January 2003. These are lavishly illustrated by live performances, TV and film clips and home movies of their early days. “In Our Own Time” features clips of many of their greatest hits including: “You Should Be Dancing”, “New York Mining Disaster 1941”, “Massachusetts”, “Run To Me”, “Jive Talkin’”, “Stayin’ Alive”, “Night Fever”, “How Deep Is Your Love”, “Tragedy” and “You Win Again” and their collaborations such as “Guilty” with Barbara Streisand and “Immortality” with Celine Dion.

A veritable who's who of the rock and roll scene of the late 1970s join forces for this fun romp loosely inspired by the Beatles album of the same name. In this imaginative film, a rock band comes to the rescue of a small town suffering from boredom.
