Mike Sardina is a Vietnam veteran and mechanic performing covers on stages across 1980s Midwest America, dreaming of something big. He meets Claire Cartwright, a hairdresser and fellow covers performer with similar ambitions. While neither is a songwriter, they both revel in entertaining audiences, and form Lightning and Thunder, a Neil Diamond tribute experience. Based on a true story, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson form strong on-screen chemistry in this uplifting musical biopic about following your dreams.
