| Summary |
Ron Howard directs and Michael Keaton stars in this classic comedy. Keaton plays wheeler-dealer Hunt Stevenson, who hopes to save a failing Pennsylvania automobile-assembly factory from having to close its doors. Thinking he has found a solution, Hunt persuades a Japanese auto firm to reopen the factory, retrain its staff, and streamline the operation. But it isn't long before the American-born workers grow to resent the disciplinary demands of their new Japanese bosses, setting the stage for a comic clash of cultures. |
