Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a Truthful but Misleading description of a famous work, preferably in a single sentence. You are not allowed to lie about the content of the work, but the description has to give a completely wrong idea about the story. Put the name of the work in a spoiler tag after the description, so that we can try guessing what work you've described misleadingly.
As examples, here are descriptions about two films:
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.
Bedridden girl's invisible friend remodels her room and turns heads.
EDIT: I included sources for the lines in the spoilers because neither of these is original to me. You don't have to include a source when you make up your own entry.
Have fun!
