The narrative follows their rise from Liverpool newcomers in the early 1960s to becoming the world's biggest band, culminating in their breakup in 1970.
“Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right — and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure,” said director Sam Mendes.

This marks the first authorized theatrical feature film to have obtained music and life rights from the band and their descendants. Notably, Linda McCartney, née Eastman, met Paul McCartney in 1967 while working as a photographer.
