Bright Lights, Big City

Jamie Conway (Michael J. Fox) is an aspiring writer and New York yuppie whose life has fallen apart. Nightly, Jamie seeks oblivion in cocaine and the glittery Manhattan club scene. With the "help" of his hard-partying friend, Tad (Kiefer Sutherland), Jamie finds it increasingly difficult to show up at his unfulfilling job as a fact checker at a downtown literary magazine. Based on Jay McInerney's best-selling autobiographical novel.
