Don's Plum is a 2001 black-and-white independent drama film directed by R. D. Robb, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Kevin Connolly.

The film follows a group of young men, around 20 years old, who meet at Don's Plum, a Los Angeles restaurant, every Saturday night.

One of the main characters, Ian, a peculiar but somewhat charismatic young man, is seen at a jazz bar attempting to invite a woman to join him and his friends at the restaurant.

Another friend, Brad, who is bisexual, finishes sleeping with Sara and invites her to join the group, on the condition that he pretends they’ve just met.

At the diner, the group introduces themselves and orders food from Flo, a waitress who, through internal narration, reveals her dissatisfaction with her job and her affair with the restaurant's owner, Don, to secure a better schedule.

The group engages in various conversations, but tensions arise when Derek insults an overweight woman, upsetting Amy, while the others mostly find it amusing.

Jeremy presses him for details, leading Derek to reveal his discomfort, rooted in his father’s suicide, which he attributes to his mother’s abuse.

[citation needed] Wheatley made the following statement to Fox News: "It saddens me deeply that in 2016 we witness the senseless oppression of film and art by one of America's most beloved actors".
