The documentary starts with Steinbauer's obsession with a widely circulated viral video featuring outtakes from an RV commercial shoot, centered on a cantankerous pitchman who regularly becomes outraged and flustered, cursing in colorful mannerisms. Steinbauer researches the video, and discovers that it had been circulating on VHS long before it appeared on the Internet.

L'industrie du Jeu Vidéo devait bien commencer quelque part ... Ce film documentaire raconte l'histoire de l'industrie britannique des jeux vidéo de 1979 à nos jours. Il se concentre sur la manière dont la créativité et la vision d'un nombre relativement restreint d'individus, ont permis au Royaume-Uni de jouer un rôle clé et pionnier dans le façonnement de l'industrie des jeux vidéo d'un milliard de dollars, qui domine aujourd'hui le paysage du divertissement dans le monde moderne. Le film présente des interviews de grands concepteurs de jeux, journalistes et musiciens britanniques des 30 dernières années.
