Riggan Thomson is a washed up actor who once played the famous Birdman in a series of films, as a sort of desperate comeback he adapts a book into a Broadway play directed by and starring himself. Everything is going wrong, especially with new lead actor Mike who starts to run the show and take over, on top of that Riggan has Birdman’s voice in his head constantly terrorizing him mentally. The show is only days away but Riggan is also dealing with his ex-wife and daughter just out of rehab, trying to be the father he should have been. Can he pull this off or is it just another failed actors attempt at recreating himself.
