Synopsis

Rocketman (2019) is the Elton John musical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Taron Egerton does his own singing and carries the star from a shy boy at the piano to a feather-and-glitter rock idol.

Director Dexter Fletcher skips the tidy birth-to-fame timeline. Reg Dwight, a kid from suburban London, recounts his life from a group-therapy chair, and the memories spill straight into musical numbers where people lift off the floor and dance to "Crocodile Rock." Beside him stand lyricist Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell), his songwriting partner across the decades, and manager John Reid (Richard Madden), whose affection curdles into a cage. Underneath the fame sit addiction, loneliness and a mother who could never quite love him back.

Egerton won a Golden Globe for the lead, and the original song "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" took the Oscar. Unlike most biopics, the film leans into open fantasy — a musical where the truth comes through the songs rather than around them. Stream Rocketman (2019) online on iFILM.
