Powerful, multi-Oscar-winning drama about a movie star who has turned his back on his success as superhero Birdman to gamble all on adapting, directing and starring in a Raymond Carver short story on Broadway. Haunted by self-doubt about his worth as a real actor, he drives himself to breaking point. His efforts seem doomed to failure until, on the eve of the preview performances and in a near-miraculous piece of apparent good fortune, a celebrated actor agrees to join the cast, generating enormous interest and guaranteeing a full house.

Using innovative camerawork to evoke the claustrophobic world of backstage theatre, the film interweaves the story of the production with the troubled and intertwined lives of the actors themselves, delivering a multilayered drama.
