En décembre 1968, le réalisateur Michael Lindsay-Hogg tourne The Rock and Roll Circus, un évènement musical organisé par les Rolling Stones auquel participent notamment John Lennon et sa femme Yoko Ono. Aussitôt terminé, le réalisateur se voit offrir, par Paul McCartney, l'opportunité de tourner un documentaire sur l'enregistrement du prochain album des Beatles. Accompagnés par l’équipe de tournage, le groupe se réunit à partir du 2 janvier 1969 dans les studios de cinéma de Twickenham, où ils avaient déjà tourné des scènes pour A Hard Day's Night et Help! et commence à enregistrer. Yoko Ono est présente aussi, assise à côté de John Lennon. L'ambiance est tendue, des désaccords apparaissent, sans compter le fait que les membres du groupe n’apprécient pas les conditions dans lesquelles ils répètent dans cet endroit particulier, sous l'œil de deux caméras tournant en continu. Chaque jour, ils commencent à travailler tôt le matin, ce qui les change profondément de leurs séances nocturnes habituelles aux studios Abbey Road. « Nous n'arrivions pas à nous y habituer, se souviendra Lennon. Les studios Twickenham étaient devenus un endroit cauchemardesque, où il fallait se rendre matin après matin. Nous ne pouvions vraiment pas faire de la musique dès huit heures du matin ni même à dix heures, avec ces objectifs attachés à nos moindres gestes, avec tous les techniciens gravitant autour de nous, attentifs à fixer même nos bâillements. » Durant ces séances, les Beatles jouent de tout et de rien, beaucoup (près de 100 titres seront abordés), font le « bœuf » (jamming), souvent mal, faux et sans conviction.

Ce sont les Beatles eux-mêmes qui racontent leur histoire à l'aide des nombreuses images tournées durant leur carrière, et parfois de leurs propres archives audiovisuelles. Neil Aspinall, George Martin et Derek Taylor interviennent aussi dans cette série dont la fabrication a pris cinq années. En 2003, cette série est publiée dans un coffret de cinq DVD. Dans le DVD bonus, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr et George Harrison jouent ensemble quelques titres de leurs débuts dans la propriété de ce dernier, au milieu des années 1990. On les surnommera pour le coup les Threetles. Ils se réunissent également avec George Martin dans les studios Abbey Road, devant la table de mixage, pour décortiquer ensemble des titres comme Tomorrow Never Knows ou Golden Slumbers.

The titular Yellow Submarine rests on an Aztec-like pyramid on a hill. At the edge of the land is a range of high blue mountains.
