* HeroicBSOD: The truck's driver is stuck in the driver's seat, staring at nothing and doesn't react when Trip tries banging on the windows.
* MacGuffin: The movie never shows what's in the duffel bag, even when Trip opens it to see. He is apparently shaken by it, though. The mob doesn't show any interest in it when they corner Trip. The film ends on a shot of it, still closed.

''Metallica: Through the Never'' is a 2013 concert film directed by Nimród Antal. Footage of Music/{{Metallica}} shot in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} and Edmonton in August 2012 is intercut with a plot involving young roadie Trip (Creator/DaneDeHaan), who is sent to bring gas to a truck carrying "something very important." His mission turns into a surreal misadventure when he gets caught up in a riot.

!!''Metallica: Through the Never'' contains examples of:
* BloodyHandprint: The first sign that something unusual is going on is a bloody handprint Trip sees on a sign.
* PerformanceVideo: The movie consists mostly of these.
* SoftGlass: A car slams into Trip's van, flipping it over and shattering the windows. Trip is showered in broken glass, but his only injuries are from being thrown against the walls of the van.
