Cast of Whiplash (Film), Box Office Gross, Budget & Streaming Guide
"The road to greatness can take you to the edge."
Storyline
Written and directed by Damien Chazelle at just 29 years old, the 2014 psychological drama Whiplash seized the cinematic world by storm, grossing nearly $50 million on a $3.3 million budget and winning three Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor and Best Film Editing. Miles Teller stars as Andrew Neiman, an ambitious 19-year-old jazz student at the prestigious Shaffer Conservatory in New York who dreams of becoming an immortal jazz drummer like Buddy Rich. Andrew catches the attention of Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons in an electrifying, Oscar-winning performance of terrifying sadism and monstrous intensity), the conductor of Shaffer's elite studio band. Fletcher utilizes psychological abuse, physical humiliation, flying chairs, and racial slurs to push students beyond human limits under his ruthless philosophy: 'There are no two words in the English language more harmful than good job.' As Andrew practices until his hands bleed onto the cymbals, alienating his family and girlfriend, their volatile master-student rivalry spirals into mutual destruction, culminating in an awe-inspiring, sweat-drenched nine-minute drum solo finale of 'Caravan' that redefined cinematic adrenaline.
