The Young Blood Chronicles is a 2014 American musical film composed of music videos produced by Fall Out Boy, featuring each song from the group's fifth studio album, Save Rock and Roll (2013). The separate, eleven videos were uploaded online gradually, but also link together to form the narrative film, which made its premiere on May 21, 2014 on television network Palladia. The film stars the members of Fall Out Boy – Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley – and also features guest appearances from 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Foxes, Courtney Love, Elton John and Tommy Lee. The Young Blood Chronicles was also released as a limited edition DVD on July 14, 2014.
The plot is based on the uncut long-form edit of the movie. The original was split into 11 separate music videos, each released individually, beginning with the music video for "Light Em Up" and ending with "Save Rock and Roll."
The Defenders of the Faith (Fall Out Boy) are in possession of a glowing briefcase, which Patrick handcuffs to his left hand. As he heads out down the sidewalk, he sees a young boy that distracts him while a woman stuns him from behind with a taser, then kidnaps him. Patrick is taken to a room where he is tied to a chair and his hand is strapped to a cutting board by two women. After some tormenting, the women cut off Patrick's hand, freeing the briefcase. They continue to torture him by inserting probes into him and removing some of his organs. A young boy (who appears throughout the movie) delivers Patrick's hand in a plastic bag to Pete's house. After finding the hand, Pete releases a falcon that symbolizes "The Phoenix." The other members are also kidnapped: Andy in a parking lot, Joe at a gas station and Pete on a rooftop.
The Vixens bring Pete, Andy and Joe to a dinner table, at which Patrick is already seated. They are strapped to chairs and hooked to intravenous drips. They are served blood wine, hookahs and snuffable colored powder resembling cocaine. The women then serve them cobbler, fruit and Patrick's organs. The drugs make them believe they are dancing with their captors and naked women wearing bloody animal masks, yet are left still bound to their chairs. The briefcase is delivered to a vehicle with the license plate "RATATAT".
