Part of our tribute to Val Kilmer

After a psychedelic experience in the California desert, Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, and his bandmates begin performing in Los Angeles and quickly become a sensation.

However, when Jim begins ditching his musical responsibilities and his girlfriend, Pamela, in favour of his dangerous addictions and the affections of the seductive, occult-obsessed Patricia, the band starts to worry about their leader.

'Val Kilmer is extraordinary as Morrison, holding the centre with a demonic charisma, while Stone recreates the late '60s milieu with vibrant versimilitude' - Angie Errigo, Empire
