Cecilia, a waitress in New Jersey during the Depression, is searching for an escape from her dreary life. Tom Baxter is a dashing young archaeologist in the film "The Purple Rose of Cairo." After losing her job Cecilia goes to see the film to raise her spirits. Much to her surprise, Tom Baxter walks off the screen and into her life. Theres only one problem: Tom isnt real. Meanwhile, Hollywood is up in arms when they discover that other Tom Baxters are trying to leave the screen in other theaters. Will Tom ever return and finish the film or will he decide to stay in the real world?
Cecilia lives a drab life in Depression-era New Jersey. She works as a waitress in a diner--she isnt very good at it and is soon fired--and has a loafing philanderer for a husband. She spends much of her time at the local movie theater repeatedly seeing the same movie, "The Purple Rose of Cairo." One day, Tom Baxter, a minor character in the movie, actually walks off the screen and joins Cecilia in exploring the world on the other side of the screen. Meanwhile, the remaining actors in the film are unable to continue with the story and Hollywood producers panic when other movie characters want to do the same.
