The Last Movie Star follows the journey of Vic Edwards, a faded Hollywood superstar played by Burt Reynolds, who is approached by a young filmmaker to accept an award at a film festival in Nashville, Tennessee. Once there, Vic discovers that the festival is a far cry from the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, and he is put up in a cheap motel with no air conditioning.
As Vic navigates the unfamiliar territory of Nashville, he begins to reflect on his past and grapple with his regrets. He meets Lil, played by Ariel Winter, a young woman working at the festival who helps him navigate the city and opens his eyes to new experiences.
Throughout the film, flashbacks are interwoven into the storyline that delve into Vic’s youth and his rise to fame in Hollywood. These flashbacks showcase his relationships with women, his battles with addiction, and the ups and downs of his career.
The Last Movie Star is a heartfelt and nostalgic film that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the life of an aging Hollywood icon. It serves as a tribute to Burt Reynolds, who passed away shortly after filming wrapped.
