The real life story centers on Greg Sestero, an aspiring film actor, who meets the weird and mysterious Tommy Wiseau in an acting class. Together they travel to Hollywood to make their dreams come true by making Tommy’s personally-funded film “The Room” which surprisingly has become one of the most popular underground cult phenomenon films ever.
