Cross-media picks for AC/DC fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.
AC/DC built a career on the conviction that rock and roll should be loud, physical, and unapologetic. The picks here share that same refusal to compromise: concert films that put you on the floor of a stadium, stories about outsiders who live by music, games that put an instrument in your hands, and books that treat rock history as something worth arguing about. Whether it's the underground Leningrad scene in Leto or street-level hustle in The Get Down, the through-line is passion that won't be polished away.
