In 1956 verhuist enfant terrible Jerry Lee Lewis van Louisiana naar Memphis, vastbesloten om Elvis van zijn voetstuk te stoten met zijn meedogenloze, door God gegeven talent. Wanneer Jerry de basakkoorden met zijn voeten drumt, schreeuwen de fans om meer en wanneer hij een voorstelling eindiigt met het in lichtenlaaie zetten van zijn piano, bestormen ze het podium. Als hij echter trouwt met zijn 13-jarige achternichtje Myra is het schandaal dat volgt bijna funest voor zijn carrière.
Nee, helaas is Great Balls of Fire! nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
