During the week he turns 33, NyC magazine publisher David Aames, a playboy who has strange dreams, spends a night of passion with Julie, "a friend he sometimes sleeps with," and a night with Sofia, a witty, knowing dancer with a Spanish accent - a night with intimations of love. David is charming, rich (his mother's Monet, "Vanilla Sky" is in his bedroom), and feckless: he inherited the magazines and his minority partners want him out. Jump ahead: he's in jail, wearing a prosthetic mask, talking to a sympathetic psychologist to get at the truth behind a death. Who has died? How? And who's Ellie? Popping up often on TV is Benny, a dog who survived for months frozen in ice.

Movie Trivia:
- Kurt Russell agreed to do the film without reading the script.
-
The title Vanilla Sky was considered for Cameron Crowe's previous movie, Almost Famous (2000). The original title for Almost Famous was actually "Untitled", however Dreamworks would not allow this, so Cameron Crowe titled the bootleg edition of Almost Famous on DVD "Untitled".
-
The scene with Tom Cruise alone in Times Square is not computer enhanced. The production was given unprecedented permission to shut down Times Square for one Sunday. At the time, the news ticker was providing updates on the Bush-Gore election. To avoid dating the film, Crowe got permission to change the NASDAQ sign in post-production.
-
Penélope Cruz also starred in Abre los ojos (1997), of which this film is a remake.
-
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) is one of director Cameron Crowe's all time favorite films and is prominently featured in Vanilla Sky (2001). Also, at the beginning of Almost Famous (2000), Crowe's previous work, William Miller and his mother are having a discussion about Atticus Finch, the protagonist of "To Kill a Mockingbird."
