Today's Hollywood is hilariously lampooned in a behind-the-scenes look at the costs of "making it" in show business. Kevin Bacon stars as Nick, a film student propelled into Hollywood's fast-lane. Once he's make it, he sells out, sacrificing his friends and his true love until he discovers that beneath the Hollywood tinsel lies a system that breaks 'em as it makes 'em. © 1989 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.
