EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a documentary film that explores the life and performance of Elvis Presley. Utilizing a vast collection of restored and synchronized footage, including previously unseen material from the Warner Bros. archives, the film aims to provide a unique look at the artist.

Full plot (contains spoilers)
The film is constructed from sixty-eight boxes of 35mm and 8mm footage discovered in the Warner Bros. archives, including outtakes and a 1957 'gold jacket' performance. These clips were restored and synced to audio sources over two years. Additionally, a 45-minute audio recording of Presley discussing his life story was uncovered and incorporated into the film. The production serves as a follow-up to Luhrmann's 2022 biopic, intended to showcase the 'offstage and onstage' aspects of the performer.
