Johnny Suede (Brad Pitt) wants to be in a rock band, and when a pair of suede shoes literally lands at his feet, he thinks his life is made.

Trivia:
This film marks the directorial debut of Tom DiCillo.

It was Writer and Director Tom DiCillo who insisted on casting the relatively unknown Brad Pitt over the objections of the producer, who wanted him to consider Timothy Hutton. Ironically, DiCillo was ultimately dissatisfied with Pitt's portrayal of Johnny as being "slow" or "stupid" instead of just childish.

The costumes worn by Johnny Suede came out of Writer and Director Tom DiCillo's personal wardrobe. During filming, they were all stolen from a truck, which was left unlocked.
