Jon Mikl Thor was a bodybuilding, steel bending, brick smashing rock star in the ‘70s and '80s whose theatrical band, Thor, never quite made it big. Jon first made waves in the bodybuilding world in Vancouver during the 1970s, winning several bodybuilding titles, including Mr. Canada and Mr. USA. Blending a powerful physique with the love of Norse mythology, Jon created the character, Thor The Rock Warrior, which gave birth to a new theatrical genre, “Gladiator Rock.”

After suffering a severe nervous breakdown in 1987 Jon retired from show business and moved to North Carolina with his wife to become a normal mortal. Ten years after retirement he attempts a comeback to finally achieve the success that had eluded him throughout his career. The film follows Thor on his comeback for over a decade as he searches for success in the rock and roll business. With Jon's reluctance to hire a manager, he tries to manage himself, which leads to another nervous breakdown that nearly kills him.
