The video features footage of the band on the road in Eastern Europe in 1984, performing concerts in Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia as part of the World Slavery Tour.

The title refers to the fact that the band were touring inside the Iron Curtain (countries within the Eastern Bloc of the Soviet Union); unusual given the area's separation from the West due to the then-ongoing Cold War.

An expanded 58 minute version of the documentary is included on disc 2 of the Live After Death DVD.

The video was produced and directed by Kenneth Feuerman and edited by Norman H. Strassner.

The video also features a portion of the Deep Purple classic "Smoke on the Water" which Iron Maiden played at event manager Dorota Nawrocka and dentist Piotr Zmudzinski's wedding[2] at the now-demolished Adria club in Poznań, Poland.
