The King of Comedy is a funny depiction of the dangers of celebrity fandom.

Oscar® Winner Robert De Niro gives a mesmerizing performance in Martin Scorsese’s timeless, darkly funny satire as Rupert Pupkin, a deranged comedian who will go to any length to gain the spotlight. Teaming with an equally imbalanced woman (Sandra Bernhard), Pupkin kidnaps his idol, jaded TV talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). The ransom? Pupkin gets one appearance on Langford’s show.

A struggling comedian gambles his uncertain future on a hare brained scheme to ransom his way onto television by kidnapping a popular talk show host.
