New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Mercenary Publicity) Finally the film everyone has been talking about is to hit the theatres of the UK. Mission To Lars will be on tour! Lars Ulrich is a heavy metal God, the drummer of Metallica. Tom Spicer has Fragile X, a form of autism, and lives in a care home in a sleepy Devon seaside town. Lars is touring the world, playing to 30,000 howling metal fans every night. Meanwhile Tom has had a dream for 20 years: to meet his hero, Lars. Tom's siblings, Kate and Will, feel guilty that they don't do enough for their brother so they make Tom's dream their mission.
