Summary:

With Hollywood moviemaking as a metaphor, director Wim Wenders weaves a modern day tale of commercialism, consumerism and introspection. Successful Hollywood producer Mike Max, having made his fortune producing films with no redeeming social value, experiences a life-altering event when he is kidnapped and almost killed. Irony is not lost on Mike who decides to leave the world of Hollywood behind, a world he once embraced and which he now views as having negatively impacted society.
