This movie chronicles the story behind the 1955 LIFE Magazine photo thread by Dennis Stock of then-rising star, James Dean, and gives us an inside look at some of Hollywoods most iconic images and into the life of a gifted, but troubled man.
Its early 1955. Filming on Warner Brothers has long wrapped, and it will soon be released, with those in key roles doing publicity to promote the movie leading to its New York City premiere. It stars, amongst others, a relative unknown in method actor in not only his first leading movie role, but his first credited movie role. Casting has begun on the studios next big title, Rebel Without a Cause, with Dean considered for the lead, which he wants in his overall goal of working solely on quality projects. At an industry party, Dean meets freelance photographer , who, working largely for Magnum Photos, is trying to build his portfolio to make a name for himself within the business. The two men become friends. Stock is able to convince initially reluctant Dean and Magnums Executive Editor , who doesnt know Dean from a hole in the wall, to do a series of photos of Dean in the hope of selling them specifically to LIFE Magazine. Stock can see something in Dean, a certain awkwardness in combination with his magnetism, on which he wants to capitalize before the rest of the world clamors to get their hands on him. Despite Dean agreeing to it, the process will not be an easy one for either man as they deal with other issues in their lives, for Dean dealing with a public relationship with , the two who may view their relationship differently, and navigating the publicity about which he does not fully understand, and for Stock trying to remain a part of his sons life despite his frequent absences. Another key issue is Deans own internal struggles in wanting a major acting career but not liking, beyond the actual acting, the process to achieve it.
