Nothing predestined Bruce Willis to become an actor, let alone an action star, yet in just a few years he became one of the most profitable stars in cinema history, until his career abruptly changed course. For ten years, Bruce Willis experienced a slump, marked by dozens of low-budget films. Then in March 2022, the shock: Bruce Willis announced, via his family’s social media, an incurable illness. A brain degeneration forcing him to leave cinema forever. How long had Bruce Willis known he was ill, and why was the end of his career not protected? This documentary explores the incredible trajectory of Bruce Willis, down to Hollywood’s best-kept final secrets.
