About The Room

The Room is a 2003 American independent romantic drama film written by, directed by, produced by, and starring Tommy Wiseau. The film also stars Juliette Danielle and Greg Sestero. Set in San Francisco, the film is centered on a melodramatic love triangle between amiable banker Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive fiancée Lisa (Danielle), and his conflicted best friend Mark (Sestero).

The stage play from which the film is derived was so named due to its events taking place entirely in a single room.
