This film focuses on early Hollywood in the 1920s, the transition period of the film industry from silent films to the era of sound films. This film focuses on the career and emotion of a couple of leading roles, and follows the ups and downs of the other three fictional characters in this period; They all have their own historical archetypes. In Los Angeles in 1926, Mexican immigrant Manny (played by Diego Calva) came to work as a handyman at a dissolute and wild party hosted by executives at the Kinoscope studio, where he met Nellie LaRoy, a blonde girl from the bottom of New Jersey (played by Margot Robbie); She just arrived in Los Angeles, wild and rude, but ambitious, hoping to become a movie star in Hollywood, and Manny fell in love with her at first sight. The party was also attended by middle-aged actor Jack Conard (Brad Pitt) and Chinese actress Zhu Fei (Li Lijun), who were already famous at the time, as well as the struggling African jazz trumpet player Sidney (John Edgar Poe). At the party, Manny also got to know Jack and worked at the film scene under the recommendation of the latter, and was appreciated for his excellent performance. At the same time, on the other side of the set, Nellie was also discovered for her amazing dance and performance, and made a silent film that made her famous. In 1927, the first audio film,"Jazz Singer," was released, which forever changed the landscape of the film industry and Hollywood. Manny seized the opportunity of the times, gradually grew up and became a film producer; Nellie, however, because of self-indulgence, could not keep up with the pace of the era of sound, and gradually sank, and was forced to transform by the studio. Jack has no longer adapted to the era of sound because of his performance ability, and has entered the double crisis of suffering middle age and career. Because of her homosexuality, Zhufei can no longer be tolerated by the increasingly conservative Hollywood. Sidney became an actor in a black jazz film, but was asked to"paint her face darker" to cater to stereotypes. After that, the fortunes of the five people all took a sharp turn. James McKay (Toby Maguire), a gangster leader in Los Angeles with strange voice and appearance and abnormal behavior, suddenly intervened because of the gambling debt owed by Nellie, which interrupted Manny's good life. At this time, the film also entered a dark atmosphere. Hollywood's golden age seems to be fading here. Those who have left their names in the history of film have also been abandoned by history in the throes of change and forgotten by the world in the flow of time

本片聚焦於1920年代的早期荷里活，電影工業從默片發展到有聲電影時代的過渡時期。 本片聚焦於一對男女主角的事業與情感，並追隨了這一時期其他三比特虛構角色的起起落落； 他們都有各自的歷史原型。 1926年的洛杉磯，墨西哥裔移民Manny（迭戈·卡爾瓦飾）作為打雜工來到Kinoscope製片廠高管舉辦的放蕩狂野的派對工作，在這裡他邂逅了來自紐澤西底層的金髮女孩Nellie LaRoy（瑪格特·羅比飾）； 她剛來到洛杉磯，狂放粗魯，卻又野心勃勃，希望在荷里活成為一個電影明星，而Manny也對她一見鍾情。 參加這場派對的還有當時已聲名大噪的中年男演員Jack Conard（布拉德·皮特飾）和華裔女演員朱菲（李麗君飾），還有尚在打拼的非裔爵士小號手Sidney（約翰·艾德坡飾）。 在派對上，Manny還結識了Jack，並在後者的引薦下來到了電影的拍攝現場工作，並因其過人的工作表現而受人賞識。 同時，在片場的另一邊，Nellie也因其驚豔的舞蹈和表演而被發覺，拍攝了一部讓她聲名鵲起的無聲電影。 在後來的1927年，第一部有聲電影《爵士歌手》上映，這永遠地改變了電影工業與荷里活的格局。 Manny把握住了時代的機會，逐漸成長，成為了電影製片人； Nellie卻因為自我放縱，無法再跟上有聲時代的步伐，逐漸沉淪，被製片廠要求强行改造。 Jack因其表演能力已不再適應有聲時代，進入了備受煎熬的中年和事業雙重危機。 朱菲因其同志身份，無法再被日趨保守的荷里活包容。 Sidney成為了黑人爵士音樂片的演員，卻被要求“把臉塗得更黑”以迎合刻板印象。 在此之後，五人的命運都急轉直下。 聲貌詭異、行為變態的洛杉磯的黑幫頭目James McKay（托比·馬奎爾飾）因Nellie欠下的賭債突然介入，打斷了Manny的美好人生，電影也在此時進入一種黑暗的氛圍。 荷里活的黃金時代，似乎在此逐漸消逝。 那些曾經在影史上留下自己名字的人，也在變革的陣痛中被歷史拋弃，在時光流轉之下被世人遺忘……
