Fellow artists and lovers Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner are at the centre of New York's 1940s art scene, but as Krasner neglects he work to push Pollock's career forward, Pollock begins to unravel emotionally. Pollock and Krasner escape to the country and marry, and soon, Pollock creates work that makes him the first internationally famous modern painter in America. But with fame and fortune comes a volatile temper and severe self-doubt; before long, Pollock's life threatens to explode. Featuring exceptional performances by a stellar cast, including Academy AwardŽ winner Maria Gay Harden (MEET JOE BLACK, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB), Amy Madigan (FIELD OF DREAMS, UNCLE BUCK), Val Kilmer (THE SAINT, Heat) and Jennifer Connelly (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM).
