Eddie and Tom are two teenagers with one thing in common: they look exactly alike. So when the boys accidentally meet on the set of Eddie's new movie, they impulsively agree to trade places for the afternoon. But when the production company abruptly leaves the city, Tom and Eddie soon find themselves in deep double trouble when no one believes who they both really are.

Movie clips, romances, photos that are part of our national DNA and the small-screen work that paved the way to the big screen are all part of the James Dean you couldn't see until now.

In this documentary, the tragic screen-icon James Dean is remembered. Footage from early television appearances, stills from his life, and clips from his three Warner Brothers films are interwoven with interviews with his co-workers.
