Every once in a while, a film comes along with such a bonkers plot that it could feasibly become the greatest movie ever made. This could be that film… or at least a huge cult classic in the making. Screen legend Nicolas Cage plays himself in a hilarious tale of friendship and drug cartels. A cash-strapped Cage is offered $1million to attend a birthday party for an elusive billionaire superfan named Javi Gutierrez (The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal). They hit it off immediately and a friendship blossoms, but that euphoria is short lived when the CIA get involved. It turns out Javi is a drug kingpin and they want Nic Cage to act as a secret agent to bring him to justice. Can Nicolas Cage hand in the performance of his life, or perhaps more importantly, is he willing to risk his new-found friendship for the US government? Demi Moore, Ike Barinholtz, Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish, Sharon Horgan and Lily Mo Sheen co-star in this madcap caper.
