Based on a real event, "Looped" takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead is called into a sound studio to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film, the dreadful "Die, Die My Darling."

Given her intoxicated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor and the outrageous legend.
