The Deal
2008 · Movie · 98 min. · United States
A down-and-out film producer agrees to make his nephew's film about 19th century English statesman Benjamin Disraeli, but can only get financing if he casts a well-known action star. Production is halted however, when the lead actor is kidnapped from the European film set, so the producer hatches a scheme with a struggling creative executive to save the star and the movie. Based on a novel by screenwriter Peter Lefcourt.
