In the fall of 1959, the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock finds himself trapped in a labyrinth of creativity and anxiety as he struggles to bring his ambitious project to life: "Psycho." With his reputation at stake, he embarks on the uncertainty of making a film based on a true crime that challenges the norms of horror cinema of the time. But he is not alone; his wife, Alma Reville, a brilliant screenwriter and editor in her own right, acts as his muse and confidante, dealing with the pressure of living in the shadow of his genius while fighting to earn the respect she deserves in the industry.
As production progresses, Hitchcock becomes increasingly obsessed with his unsettling leading man, Anthony Perkins, while the studio doubts his provocative vision. Tension mounts as the film begins to take a dark turn, and Hitchcock faces an internal conflict between his art and his personal life. The line between reality and fiction becomes blurred, unleashing demons from the past and revealing hidden secrets that threaten to unravel both his marriage and his masterpiece.
Featuring a star-studded cast that includes Anthony Hopkins as the master of suspense and Helen Mirren as Alma, the film explores the creative challenges, insecurities, and intrigues behind the making of one of cinema's most influential classics, offering a compelling glimpse into the man behind the camera and the lasting impact of his legacy on the world of film.
