A quirky, affectionate comedy about a delusional wannabe rock star sustained by image and delusion rather than talent, set in a retro-tinged world of nightclubs and failed dreams.

Johnny Suede (Brad Pitt) longs to be a teen-age idol like Ricky Nelson. He has a pair of black suede shoes, an impressive pompadour, a guitar, and some pals who will play backup for him. Yet he doesn't have much talent or drive.
