"The Police: Behind the Music" explores the rise and ruin of The Police, rock's most dynamic trio, from their start as struggling London punk rockers in the late '70s to their glory days in the early '80s when they were the biggest band in the world. When Sting walked away from The Police in 1984 to pursuse a solo career, their fifth and final album had been #1 on the charts for 17 consecutive weeks, and their hit single "Every Breath You Take" would go on to become the most played record in the history of radio.
