This is Oliver Stone's epic portrayal of the hugely influential 1960's rock band and its charismatic, controversial lead singer and composer, Jim Morrison, played by Val Kilmer in a career-defining role. The Doors were a distillation of their time. The Music they made was raw yet poetic, angry yet seductive. Jim Morrison's sensual stage presence, charged with strength and energy, capable of projecting a sense of danger, spoke to young audiences' fantasies and became a catalyst for an era. Their songs have kept The Doors in that rare pantheon of groups whose music evokes the memory of the turbulent '60's and continues to make fans not only of those who lived during that time but also of following generations as well. From Morrison's days as a film student in Los Angeles to his death in Paris in 1971, at the age of 27, this is the story of The DOORS.
