The film features music by U2 and various artists and was released on the soundtrack, The Million Dollar Hotel: Music from the Motion Picture. A group of very different people live in a hotel in Los Angeles, including the romantically involved Tom Tom and Eloise . The events that unfold are the result of the death of an important resident; the son of a billionarie media mogul. His father commissions... an FBI agent to look into his death. The story was originally developed by Bono in 1987 when filming the famous music video for "Where the Streets Have No Name".
