In 1971, a 24-year-old fledgling artist named David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) is sent to America to promote his newest record, The Man Who Sold The World. He is quickly met with an audience who are not yet ready for him. But during the tumultuous journey, Bowie slowly begins to realize a need to reinvent himself in order to truly become himself … and it s within that realization that his iconic, celestial alter-ego Ziggy Stardust is born. Anchored by stellar performances from Johnny Flynn, Jena Malone (as Bowie s wife, Angie) and Marc Maron (as his publicist, Rob Oberman), Stardust offers an intimate glimpse into the moments that inspired the creation of Bowie s first and most memorable alter-ego, illuminating the turning point that cemented his legacy as one of the world s greatest cultural icons.
