Rock Star

The wannabe who got to be ;

Rock Star tells the story of Chris Cole and a rock band called Steel Dragon. Cole is a photocopier technician by day, and the lead singer of a Steel Dragon tribute band called "Blood Pollution" by night.

Internal struggles between the Steel Dragon band members culminate with the firing of the lead singer, Bobby Beers (Jason Flemyng) and the starting of recruitment sessions to find a new vocalist. Chris experiences his own internal strife with his bandmates, particularly guitarist Rob Malcolm (Timothy Olyphant) and is fired from Blood Pollution for his inability to make changes in his musical style, nor create his own.

One day, Chris receives an unexpected call from Steel Dragon's founder and rhythm guitarist, Kurt Cuddy (Dominic West), and is offered an audition for the band (thanks to two of Blood Pollution's groupies who had a tape of one of their concerts). He ecstatically agrees and after an outstanding performance of "We All Die Young", he joins the band as their new singer, adopting the stage name "Izzy."

Following a successful debut concert with Steel Dragon, Izzy has to come to grips with the pressures of his new-found fame and success. The band embarks on a lengthy tour and Izzy experiences the excesses of the lifestyle, with the group's band manager Mats (Timothy Spall) serving as a sympathetic mentor to Izzy.

His new lifestyle impacts his life both for better and worse, particularly with his relationship with his supportive girlfriend, Emily (Jennifer Aniston), when she decides not to continue with him throughout the remainder of the tour as a rock star girlfriend, though Emily and Izzy agree to get back together when the tour reaches Seattle. But when Emily meets Izzy again, he is too under the influence to remember that they were going to see each other, heartbroken with his inconsiderate behavior and the fact that he is sleeping with so many groupies, Emily leaves him.

After the end of the tour, Izzy reports to the next series of Steel Dragon recording sessions with song concepts for the band's next album. But the rest of the band rejects Izzy's ideas immediately, on the grounds that reflect Izzy's old friend Rob's very reasons for Izzy being kicked out of his old band for being unable to change just so to meet the expectations of the fans; and Izzy realizes he was only recruited for his vocal abilities, making him feel angry and used. After a heartfelt conversation with Mats about how he feared he had no control over the direction life has taken him, Izzy begins to reconsider his rock star lifestyle.

On the next tour, in a scene directly paralleling one near the beginning of the film with their roles reversed, Izzy hears a fan (portrayed by Myles Kennedy) singing along with him toward the end of a live concert. Impressed, Izzy pulls the fan, who introduces himself as "Mike", onstage and hands him the microphone to finish the concert. Backstage, Izzy realizes that what he wanted for so long wasn't what he thought, and he goes to the back room and says goodbye to Mats, departing from the band while doing so.

Izzy (now Chris Cole again) makes his way to Seattle (while Steel Dragon failing to evolve has their fame fizzle out) and starts a new coffee-house rock band with Rob (an allusion to the end of 1980s hair metal and the beginnings of the 1990s grunge rock movement). He finds Emily working in the coffee shop she and her roommate purchased a few months earlier, but is initially too ashamed to meet her. While walking one evening, Emily sees a flier for his band posted on the wall and takes it down. In the final scene, Chris is singing with his band in a bar and Emily walks in. Chris leaves the stage and meets her. They reconcile, ending the film with a kiss and the final note of Chris' first original song "Colorful" (which is actually a song byThe Verve Pipe).
