About Song Sung Blue

Mike Sardina (Hugh Jackman) is a Vietnam veteran and mechanic performing covers on stages across 1980s Midwest America, dreaming of something big. He meets Claire Cartwright (Kate Hudson), a hairdresser and fellow covers performer with similar ambitions. While neither is a songwriter, they both revel in entertaining audiences, and form Lightning and Thunder, a Neil Diamond tribute experience.

Through their close collaboration, the professional becomes personal when Mike and Claire fall in love and marry. As they enthral crowds as Lightning and Thunder, their popularity grows bigger and bigger, and soon they’re opening for renowned, established bands. But as their musical journey progresses, trials arise that will test them both on and off the stage.

Based on a true story, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson form strong on-screen chemistry in this uplifting musical biopic about following your dreams.

Three people in high-visibility safety vests working together to move what appears to be a large white cylindrical object, possibly a wind turbine blade component, along a road at sunset or sunrise. The scene is set in what looks like a rural or desert area with rolling hills in the background and dramatic golden lighting.
