Have you ever imagined a place where vulcans and vampires get along? Where wizards and wookiees can be themselves? Welcome to Comic-Con San Diego. What started as a fringe comic book convention for 500 fans has grown into the pop culture event of the year, influencing every form of entertainment. Made by SUPER-SIZE ME director Morgan Spurlock, the film explores this cultural phenomenon by following the lives of five attendees as they descend upon the ultimate geek mecca in the hope of making a career in comic book illustration, winning an award with impressive monster-costumes (including facial muscles steered by electrodes!), and saving a library of rare comics. As if that is not drama enough, there is a young man who plans to propose to his geek-girlfriend during the biggest comic event of the fair.

"Spurlock brings his usual good-humored approach to the subject, nicely balancing absurdity with genuine human interest." – VARIETY

"Enormous appeal for both the geek audience and the casual viewer." – THE WASHINGTON POST
