Story & Infos

Miley Cyrus: She is the teenage star icon of an entire generation. Her journey to fame begins early, marked by a struggle for independence and the search for her own identity. This film traces the life of one of Disney’s greatest icons of all time. But fame comes at a high price. The shadow of Hannah Montana long obscures the world’s view of Miley Cyrus as an independent artist.
February 2024: She is the star of the Grammys. With her song Flowers, Miley Cyrus takes home two awards and delivers a legendary performance. She is celebrated, and she celebrates herself—despite the fact that, at 31, she had once planned to leave the harsh world of show business behind for good.
Born as Destiny Hope Cyrus in Franklin, Tennessee, Miley has only ever known life in front of the camera. As the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, she is groomed for fame from an early age, performing on stage and taking acting and singing lessons. At just 14, she lands her big break: starring as Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel series of the same name, she becomes an overnight global teen idol. Under her father’s control, Miley builds an empire and is hailed as America’s perfect role model.
But in 2013, she shatters that image. With her song Wrecking Ball, the then 21-year-old ushers in a new era—shocking the world with alcohol and drug-fueled escapades, on-and-off relationships with both men and women, and provocative stage performances. Miley Cyrus defies convention, becomes a voice for the LGBTQ+ community, and embarks on a journey to find her true place in the music industry.
She finds it in 2023. With Flowers, she not only dominates the charts but also delivers a bold message to her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth, marking the start of yet another new chapter in her career—and in her life.
