"Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" is a comedy–drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The story is about Riggan Thomson, a washed-up Hollywood actor famous for playing the superhero Birdman in blockbuster movies decades earlier. He hopes to reinvent his career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". However, is it what Riggan wants to do? And what he wants to be?
