Captured on July 27, 1986, at Budapest's Népstadion during Queen's The Magic Tour, the concert was a groundbreaking moment, as the band became the first Western rock act to perform behind the Iron Curtain during a period of profound cultural and political change. In addition to 80,000 tickets selling out, an estimated 45,000 people listened to the group outside, and some fans had travelled from as far away as Russia and Poland to see the concert.

With the scale of the achievement, it would have been impossible to imagine that Queen would go on to play only a further five shows, ending their touring days with Freddie Mercury just one month later, with their final performance taking place at Knebworth Park in England on August 9, 1986.

Queen Budapest is the last filmed live performance of the band with Freddie Mercury, showing Queen at the height of their powers as a live act. The film captures the band performing iconic hits including We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, A Kind of Magic, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Under Pressure, Who Wants to Live Forever, Hammer to Fall, and Bohemian Rhapsody.
