Based on the tragic life and times of America´s first supermodel

It´s the late 70´s in New York - Studio 54, designer jeans, drugs and disco. One girl is living life in the fast lane. She can have any man - or any woman - she wants. Sex, money, glamour, fame...it´s all within her reach. She walks toward you across the dance floor, struts toward you down the runway, stares at you from the cover of a magazine. She´s a goddess. She´s a star. Her name is Gia.

When Gia Carangi (Angelina Jolie) first arrives in New York, she´s a beautiful drop-out from Philadelphia brashly bursting through the closed doors of top modeling agent Withelmina Cooper (Faye Dunaway.) Gia´s electrifying personality and potent sexuality soon find their way onto the covers of America´s top-selling magazines. But being love by the world isn´t the same as being loved by one - an unfulfilled desire that can take Gia dangerous places. And for a beautiful woman at the top, one slip could lead to a terrifying fall.
