U2 3D is a concert film released in 2008, the first live-action movie to be shot, produced, and screened exclusively with digital 3-D technology. The film is composed of footage from several shows from U2's Vertigo Tour in 2006. It is the band's second theatrically released movie, after 1988's Rattle and Hum.
In the film, the band plays an 11-song set, returns to the stage for a two-song encore, and returns to the stage a final time to perform one more song while the end credits roll.

In early 2005, 3ality Digital released a new 3-D filming technology, which used in-camera motion control and real-time image processing, to create a realistic 3-D experience without subjecting the viewer to motion sickness. The technology was intended to be used as an inexpensive and effective way to film live events in 3-D, such as concerts and sporting events. Producers John and David Modell, sons of former National Football League [NFL] team owner Art Modell, decided to test the technology by shooting several NFL games, including Super Bowl XXXVIII. After much success with the 3-D footage, the Modells contacted the NFL and proposed the idea of filming and broadcasting American football games live in 3-D. While waiting to hear from the league, the Modells decided to begin another project: the first 3-D concert film, featuring their favorite band, U2.
Producer Peter Shapiro contacted U2 art director Catherine Owens about the idea. After viewing test footage of the 3-D technology, she decided to direct the project, contingent upon the band's approval. Before the band agreed, the crew of U2 3D filmed test footage with a single 3-D camera at one of U2's Vertigo Tour concerts in Anaheim, California. After viewing the Anaheim footage, the band signed on in mid-2005
