Synopsis

"Hysteria: The Steve Clark Story" is a gripping biopic chronicling the meteoric rise, creative brilliance, and tragic downfall of one of rock’s most iconic yet enigmatic guitarists, Steve Clark of Def Leppard. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s hard rock revolution, the film is a deeply emotional journey through fame, addiction, and the price of genius. From his humble beginnings in Sheffield, England, Steve Clark’s talent with the guitar set him apart—a self-taught prodigy who merged raw emotion with technical mastery. The story follows his rise to stardom with Def Leppard, from their early days as underdogs in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal to their historic breakthrough with Pyromania and the record-shattering Hysteria. As the band climbed the charts, Clark became known as “The Riffmaster,” penning legendary tracks that would forever define rock music. Yet, behind the electrifying performances and stadium anthems lay a man haunted by inner demons. The film delves into Clark’s struggles with self-doubt, the pressures of fame, and his battle with addiction, juxtaposed with moments of pure creative triumph. It also explores the deep camaraderie within Def Leppard, particularly Clark’s complex friendship with bandmate Phil Collen, who tried to guide him through his darkest days.
