Synopsis

Critically acclaimed director Viktor Taransky (Pacino) has just lost his last shot at a comeback when his temperamental flesh and blood actress (Winona Ryder in a cameo role) walked off his movie. Fired by his ex-wife and studio head (Catherine Keener), Taransky just lost any hope of recapturing his former life. But then computer genius Hank Aleno (Elias Koteas) enters the picture. As his dying wish, Hank bequeaths software to Taransky that will change his life forever. Just a few key strokes and an overnight sensation is born: S1MØNE. S1MØNE is beautiful, she’s talented, and she’s virtually perfect in every way…except one. She’s not real. Suddenly, Taransky has a taste of the success he always craved and the world’s most beloved star under his thumb. Or does he?
