十年前,Wray Nerely(艾伦·图代克 饰)和Jack Moore(内森·菲利安 饰)主演了广受欢迎的科幻剧《Spectrum》。不幸的是,电视网(对,就是Fox)竟然愚蠢地取消了《Spectrum》。在此之后Jack Moore迅速走红,成为一线明星,而Wray Nerely的事业并未有任何起色。《Spectrum》成了人们对他的唯一的记忆。他也只能靠着这个身份,混迹于各种Sci-Fi Convention中,成了名副其实的Con Man。 本片由艾伦·图代克自编自导自演。灵感显然来自他的成名作《萤火虫》和他之后的真实生活。Wray Nerely is a struggling actor who starred as a spaceship pilot on Spectrum, a canceled science fiction series that went on to become a cult classic. Wray's good friend Jack Moore, who starred as the ship's captain, has become an A-list movie star. Frustrated by Jack's success and his lack thereof, Wray travels the science fiction convention circuit, makes appearances at comic book stores, and visits pop culture events. He navigates the odd people and incidents he encounters along the way while learning to love the fans he has.
