A Jekyll-and-Hyde-type-story about a big movie star who is at war with his public persona, which has literally taken on a life of its own.

SYNOPSIS:

John Cruise (the person) stays secluded inside a mansion high up in the Hollywood Hills while Johnny (the persona, played by the same actor) leaves the mansion and does all the movies, premieres, press events, charity events, interviews, talk show appearances etc. John desperately wants to leave the house and show the public the REAL him, but Johnny abusively makes him stay inside, warning him that the public won't like what it sees and his career will be ruined. Overall, JOHNNY CRUISE is an American tragedy about the importance of being/honoring yourself vs. being what others want you to be.
