Powered by a landmark Grammy®-winning soundtrack album and an Oscar®-winning score, PURPLE RAIN showcases Prince in the prime of his artistry, dazzling with his extraordinary musical ability in this semi-autobiographical tale.

But rival musician Morris (Morris Day) is intent on taking her — and The Kid's rising stardom — away. DIR/SCR Albert Magnoli; SCR William Blinn; PROD Robert Cavallo, Steven Fargnoli, Joseph Ruffalo.
