January 1978. After their success in England, the punk rock band Sex Pistols venture out on their tour of the southern United States.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Sid and Nancy is the definitive pic on the punk phenomenon.

fresh:
A few too many moralistic foreshadowings, but most of the time Cox's situations and characters develop on their own eloquently entropic terms.

fresh:
It's not every film maker who credits special thanks to both Luis Bunuel and Dee Dee Ramone, but then Mr. Cox doesn't fit any recognizable mold.

fresh:
[Cox] and his actors pull off the neat trick of creating a movie full of noise and fury, and telling a meticulous story right in the middle of it.
– Roger Ebert,

rotten:
The only thing that is sustained in Sid and Nancy is a tone of clinical disinterest that leaves you asking why Cox would want to make a movie about them.
