The Doors was directed by Oliver Stone and portrays the life of Jim Morrison, leader singer of the Doors. The movie shows how the Doors began and when Jim met his soulmate, Pam. Jim Morrison's life was chaotic once he become a celebrity. There is a lot of alcohol and drug use, sex, and rock and roll. The relationship between Jim and Pam is fragile with many affairs and irrational behavior.
