The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle | Ad-Free |

The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1979/1980) is a chaotic, postmodern mockumentary that frames the Sex Pistols' history as a calculated scam engineered by manager Malcolm McLaren. The film and its fragmented soundtrack, often viewed as a "cash-in" project, features archival performances, animation, and performances by figures like Sid Vicious and train robber Ronnie Biggs.
