A master at manipulating audiences, Andy Kaufman could generate belly laughs, stony silence, tears or brawls. Whether inviting the audience out for milk and cookies or challenging women to inter-gender wrestling matches, the late Andy Kaufman specialized in creating performances so real that even his close friends were never sure where the truth lay.



Academy Award winning director Milos Forman (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus) and Jim Carrey, who won the Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical) for his portrayal of Andy in Man On The Moon, recreate the life of one of the most innovative, eccentric and enigmatic performers of his time.
