A witty, fast-paced crime comedy that finds humor in the parallels between mob life and Hollywood dealmaking, anchored by a charming protagonist and romantic subplot.

Chili Palmer is a Miami mobster who gets sent to L.A. to collect a bad debt from Harry Zimm, a Hollywood producer who specializes in cheesy horror films. When Chili meets Harry's leading lady, the romantic sparks fly. After pitching his own life story as a movie idea, Chili learns that being a mobster and being a Hollywood producer really aren't all that different.
