Stoned is a film about Brian Jones, one of the founding members of The Rolling Stones. The movie is a cinematic work of historical fiction, taking as its premise the idea that Jones was murdered by Frank Thorogood, a houseguest whom Jones's girlfriend Anna Wohlin accused in her book, The Murder Of Brian Jones. The movie also paints a picture of Jones's substance abuse and sexual excesses, in part to explain his firing from The Rolling Stones, and in part to establish possible motive for the alleged murder.
