Eager to shoot his debut film away from meddling Hollywood fat cats, a young filmmaker (Matthew Broderick) accepts generous funding from a mysterious investor (Alec Baldwin). But the novice director gets more than he bargained for: Mr. Deep Pockets is actually an undercover agent who uses the movie shoot to camouflage a sting operation. Toni Collette, Calista Flockhart, Ray Liotta and Tony Shalhoub co-star.
