After witnessing his mother (Ann-Margret) and her lover (Oliver Reed) murder his father, Tommy is commanded, "You didn't hear it, you didn't see it, and you won't say anything to anyone." Traumatized, the boy retreats into the shadows of his mind and becomes deaf, dumb and blind. Growing into manhood, Tommy (Roger Daltry) is subjected to bizarre cure attempts by The Acid Queen (Tina Turner), the Preacher (Eric Clapton), and the Specialist (Jack Nicholson) and in spite of his handicap defeats the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) to become the champ, hailed by devoted fans as a "Messiah."All New Audio Commentary with Director Ken Russell
