About the movie

Mulholland Drive's official synopsis from Universal Pictures gives a brief insight into the film plot and mentions:

"This se*y thriller has been acclaimed as one of the year's best films. Two beautiful women are caught up in a lethally twisted mystery—and ensnared in an equally dangerous web of erotic passion."

Apple TV Plus on the other hand, where the movie is currently available for viewing provides a more detailed synopsis that encapsulates the specific incident that triggers a chain reaction of other events in the movie. It reads:

"A dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) is left amnesiac after a car crash. She wanders the streets of Los Angeles in a daze before taking refuge in an apartment. There she is discovered by Betty (Naomi Watts), a wholesome Midwestern blonde who has come to the City of Angels seeking fame as an actress."

It continues:

"Together, the two attempt to solve the mystery of Rita's true identity. The story is set in a dream-like Los Angeles, spoilt neither by traffic jams nor smog."
