Plenty of people played a part in the success of This Is Spinal Tap, but none of it would have been quite the same without the four main players: Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Rob Reiner. Here’s the fascinating story of how it all happened.

The film was a big critical success upon its release and became a cult classic as time went by. The film takes a lighthearted, laugh-a-minute, behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be in a rock and roll band, satirizing the behavior and parodying the pretensions of some of the biggest bands of the time. In 1984, director Rob Reiner came together with American comedians Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer to create something truly special in the form of This Is Spinal Tap, a classic mockumentary film which followed the antics and exploits of a fictional English heavy metal band named Spinal Tap.
