The fledgling filmmaker jumps at the chance to direct Whoopi Goldberg, Jackie Chan, and Sylvester Stallone. Little does he realize that he is but a puppet - the company president and executive producer have hired him just to pull his strings. From the first "Roll 'em" to the final cut, the bigwigs keep Smithee out of the loop. To his utter dismay, he finds his name attached to a monster-piece! What's more, he can't even hide behind a fake name because he really IS "Alan Smithee," the pseudonym that disgruntled filmmakers use to replace their own on movies bad enough to destroy their reputations.
