The story of THE WALL is told simply with the music of Pink Floyd, images and natural effects. There is no conventional dialogue to progress the narrative. Our story is about Pink, a rock and roll performer, who sits locked in a hotel room, somewhere in Los Angeles. Too many shows, too much dope, too much applause: a burned out case. On the TV, an all-too-familiar war film flickers on the screen. We shuffle time and place, reality and nightmare, as we venture into Pink's painful memories, each one a "brick" in the wall he has gradually built around his feelings.
Slowly he withdraws from the real world and slips further into his nightmare as he imagines himself as an unfeeling demagogue, for whom all that is left is the demonstration of power over his un-thinking audience, the culmination of the odious excess of his own world and the world around him. His internal self trial follows, as the witnesses of his past life, the very people who have contributed to the building of the wall, come forward and testify against him." ALAN PARKER

On almost every menu screen on the disc you can see a symbol in one of the corners of the screen. Through the regular menu navigation these symbols are not accessible, but if you hit the '9'-key on your remote control, you can activate them. As a result you will hear various soundclips from the movie as well as clips from the Pink Floyd albums 'Animals' and 'The Final Cut.'
