An aging billionaire businessman decides to create a lasting legacy by financing a great film. He hires a prestigious and eccentric filmmaker to direct, and she casts two actors with wildly different methods—a serious theater actor and a popular movie star—as rivals. The rehearsals become a psychological battleground of egos and artistic clashes as the director manipulates her stars to extract the performances she desires.
