The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 science fiction crime thriller film directed by Josef Rusnak and loosely based upon Simulacron-3 (1964), a novel by Daniel F. Galouye. The film stars Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Dennis Haysbert. In 2000, The Thirteenth Floor was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, but lost to The Matrix.
Despite receiving generally negative reviews upon its release, the film is now considered a cult classic.
In late 1990s Los Angeles, Hannon Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl) owns a multibillion-dollar computer enterprise and is the inventor of a newly completed virtual reality (VR) simulation of 1937 Los Angeles, filled with simulated humans unaware they are computer programs. When Fuller is murdered just as he begins premature testing of the VR system, his friend and protégé, Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko), who is also the heir to the company, becomes the primary suspect. The evidence against him is so strong that Hall begins to doubt his own innocence.

Computer scientist Hannon Fuller has discovered something extremely important. He's about to tell the discovery to his colleague, Douglas Hall, but knowing someone is after him, the old man leaves a letter in the computer generated parallel world his company has created (which looks like the 30's with seemingly real people with real emotions). Fuller is murdered in our real world the same night, and his colleague is suspected. Douglas discovers a bloody shirt in his bathroom and he cannot recall what he was doing the night Fuller was murdered. He logs into the system in order to find the letter, but has to confront the unexpected. The truth is harsher than he could ever imagine...
Katie finds a mysterious note in her hotel room about The Legend of the Magical Mystery Hotel Floor. The note tells her to press button 12 and 14 at the same time to arrive at floor 13. Legend has it that there commonly is not a 13th floor in hotels because 13 is an unlucky number, therefore the floor would be very unlucky. Upon realizing this, Katie thinks it might be a bad idea to go to the 13th floor, but it's too late, and there's no way off the floor! She may be stuck on the 13th floor forever!

The original ending to "The 13th Floor", with Craig Bierko and Gretchen Mol.
Just one word was all I needed
To know how you've been
And who you're hanging out with
Your voice has cheer - that's very clever
It must hide the revealing tremor
So all the world thinks you're better
You never fooled me -
I know what's beneath
your floor
What's stashed away under the third wood board
Your powdered heaven.
Why do I still feel responsible for all your dumb mistakes?
It's been two years since we've seen each other
And two years since we said anything.
Anything significant
Oh, once a friend, always a friend has been my law
Now it's time to repeal it
The pain I need to watch you crumble is too great
But you can't see it
You took in a cloudy mirror beneath your floor -
Your mirror's stashed under the third wood board
With your powdered heaven
Tell me, how do you still hold a job?
It's no wonder you don't feel it anymore
