Plots(1)
A beleaguered film editor steps away from the Steenbeck for what should be his smashing directorial debut, but the set becomes a battlefield between his pushy producer and the studio suits. As the production spirals out of control, the director considers changing his credit to "Alan Smithee"--but, unfortunately, that's actually his name! So what's he to do but steal the negatives, polarizing all of Tinseltown with the scandal? Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas's ostensibly comic poison pen letter to the industry, so bitter it compelled this film's own director to adopt the "Alan Smithee" pseudonym. (official distributor synopsis)
