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. Aside from two promotional videos from the album Powerslave, the video also contains live tracks and interviews with band members. Originally issued on VHS/Beta/LaserDisc/VHD in 1984, this was long out of print until being reissued in its expanded format as a bonus feature of the Live After Death DVD release in 2008
