A meta-comedic satire about a filmmaker sabotaging his own studio project, built on industry in-jokes and irreverent humor about artistic control versus commercial compromise.

Filmmaker Alan Smithee finds himself the unwilling puppet of a potentially bad big budget action film, for which he proceeds to steal the reels, and leaves the cast and crew in a frenzy.
