    Desc: 1985 Indestructible: Directed by Rudy Childs. In January 1985 the heavy metal band Forcer was anxious to sign a record contract, after turning down a deal three months prior. The year begins by changing lead singers, musical style and image, which was a shock to their fan base. They were ultimately well received by playing enormous outdoor parties in Maryland that drew the attention of local law enforcement. As Forcer's popularity grew, an old school bus is purchased from a church for $400, and they venture to record new, harder-edged music at Studio 4 in Philadelphia. Deciding the only way to get signed is to relocate to the West Coast, they leave for the Metal Mecca of the 80s-Hollywood, CA. However, the bus dies in West Virginia. It is abandoned and they commandeer a three-passenger rental box truck to drive the six of them the rest of the way to Hollywood. As they barely escape being arrested in Tennessee, and manage an infestation of genital crabs along the way, three band members are forced to ride in the back of the truck with the equipment. In spite of the challenges on the road they make it to California to record new material at Pasha Studios and find out how challenging it is to get signed. Competing for a new fan base, paying to play in clubs and poor living conditions bring the band to a breaking point as they retreat back to the East Coast, leaving one of the members behind. Having to regroup, the band moves on to play some gigs in Massachusetts, where the equipment truck gets stolen in a quiet town south of Boston. While in pursuit on foot, their manager gets run over by the truck, yet nearly catches the perpetrator. With vintage footage from the 80s, this is the tale of a young, determined and scandalous band seeking fame while making kick-ass music.
