Nobel Son
Keep your eyes on the prize.
Directed by Randall Miller
Produced by Gimme Five Films
A darkly comedic crime caper built on family dysfunction and revenge, where a kidnapping becomes an unlikely bonding opportunity between estranged half-brothers.
Soon after his insufferably arrogant father wins the Nobel Prize for chemistry, Barkley Michaelson is kidnapped by Thaddeus James, a young genius who claims to be Barkley's illegitimate half-brother. Motivated not so much by money as revenge, Thaddeus tries to convince Barkley to help him carry out a multimillion-dollar extortion plot against their patriarch.
