Synopsis
This sensational Sixties comedy-drama is the first movie to be written and directed by Tom Hanks, and it follows the fortunes of a young pop band called The Wonders. It is 1964, and Guy is thrilled when he's asked to join a local rock band because their original drummer has left. After a successful appearance on a college talent show, The Wonders are snapped up by a record company and given their own manager, Mr White (Hanks himself), as they set out on a nation-wide tour to promote their single, 'That Thing You Do!'. Liv Tyler co-stars as Faye, the girlfriend of one of the band members, and the whole movie is supported by a soundtrack featuring a host of Sixties pop classics.
