After a psychedelic experience, Jim Morrison and The Doors rise to fame in Los Angeles. However, Jim’s addictions and new love interest, Patricia, lead to neglecting his responsibilities and girlfriend Pamela. Concerns arise within the band about their leader’s choices.

Mired in almost a decade of development hell, Oliver Stone’s suitably sprawling biopic of The Doors achieves heightened levels of brash decadence. At the magnetic center of its shaky foundations, Val Kilmer wonderfully embodies the sexual magnetism of snake-hipped poetic troubadour, Jim Morrison.
