Watch Iron Maiden's New 'Burning Ambition' Trailer

Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have shared a brand new trailer for their forthcoming feature length documentary "Burning Ambition" that will be hitting movie theaters on May 7th for a limited time.

Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest - A Depeche Mode Film), the feature‑length documentary charts Iron Maiden's remarkable five‑decade journey.

Trafalgar Releasing previously shared these details about the film: Alongside the band, the documentary features on‑camera reflections from prominent admirers including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Chuck D, each speaking to Iron Maiden's influence on music, culture and generations of fans worldwide.

Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden have grown into one of the world's most influential and enduring rock bands. Across 50 years they have released 17 studio albums, sold over 100 million records, and performed almost 2,500 concerts across 64 countries.

The documentary arrives as the band continues its two-year Run For Your Lives world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium a short distance from where it all began five decades ago.

A recently announced, one-of-a-kind, celebration named EddFest in historic Knebworth Park, England, on July 11 forms part of over 50 shows worldwide in 2026.
