This film will take the viewer on an historical journey through Bon's pre-AC/DC life focusing on his time with the band "Fraternity" and the "Mount Lofty Rangers" and the times he spent with his good friend Peter Head. With interviews from many of his friends to his son, former girlfriends and his wife Irene. The story is told through their eyes and Bons musical antics.

Loved by all who came to know him, this documentary will tell it like it was. He lived fast and played hard, lucky to be alive from that near fatal motorbike accident in 1974 that took some of his teeth. With many stories from those that were there including Bon riding bare naked in the Adelaide Hills on his loved Suzuki motorbike to Bon landing the nick name "Road Test Ronnie" due to his ability to consume just about any narcotic in quantities that would normally stop dead any other human being, the stories are told from those that were there and knew him the best, his friends. The film " Looking For Bon " is just that, looking for the man that would become Bon, the world's greatest rock and roll front man in history who would go on to lead his band of merry AC/DC men to global success. This is the life and times of Bon Scott from 1970 to 1974.
