Based on a true story. Sometimes the most unlikely people become heores.

This extraordinary film is based on the real-life story of Rocky Dennis, a disfigured teenager whose face resembles a bizarre mask. Cher, in her first leading role, is his mother, Rusty. With the help of Rusty’s uncompromising love and fierce determination, Rocky overcomes pain, loneliness and prejudice to emerge as an outstanding young man who becomes an inspiration to his classmates and teachers.

Directed with disarming candor and sensitivity by Peter Bogdanovich, Mask features incredible performances by Cher and Eric Stoltz, along with a powerful score by Bob Seger and other hit artists. It’s an unsentimental tribute to the hero hiding inside each of us.

“Mask touches the heart and the conscience.” “Cher has put her heart into this performance and the emotion shows through.” “Mask is superb.”
