Eric Binford (Dennis Christopher) lives for the movies. He works at a 35mm print depot as a delivery boy, but spends all of his free time watching classic films and collecting Hollywood memorabilia. Endlessly tormented by his colleagues, Eric drifts further and further into a dream world where he embodies the screen characters that he so deeply worships. However, when the teasing pushes him too far, he snaps and dons the outfits of his big screen idols and begins killing off his tormentors in outrageous recreations of his favorite film scenes.
