Shine a Light is a 2008 documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese documenting The Rolling Stones' 2006 Beacon Theatre performance on their A Bigger Bang Tour. The film also includes archive footage from the band's career and marked the first utilisation by Scorsese of digital cinematography for his films, with it being used for the backstage sequences. The film takes its title from the song of the same name, featured on the band's 1972 album Exile on Main St. A soundtrack album was released in April 2008 on the Universal label. This is also the last movie by Paramount Classics, as the company merged into its sister company Paramount Vantage after the movie was released.

Commençant sur un panneau disant « This film should be played loud! » (« Ce film doit être écouté fort ! »), en référence à la pochette intérieure de l'album Let It Bleed des Rolling Stones, le documentaire étudie les influences du Band et sa carrière. Le groupe, composé de Rick Danko (guitare basse, violon, chant), Levon Helm (batterie, mandoline, chant), Garth Hudson (claviers, saxophone), Richard Manuel (claviers, percussions, chant), et le compositeur Robbie Robertson à la guitare, commença sa carrière à la fin des années 1950, sous la forme d'un groupe de rock 'n' roll mené par Ronnie Hawkins, le premier invité du concert. Le Band joua pour Bob Dylan dans les années 1960, et Dylan joue avec eux vers la fin du concert.

Alvin goes para-sailing on a kite but the kite flies away with him and the other Chipmunks. Dave goes on a hang-glider to find them but Ian stops him and they both end up in the Pacific Ocean.
