Plots(1)
To save jobs in a small Pennsylvania town, cocky Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) goes to Japan and asks the owners to re-open the auto plant where he used to work. Hunt gets what he asks for, but gets a curve ball thrown at him when the Japanese bosses agree to his proposition only if the the plant will be run by the Japanese--who have a far more strict work ethic and expect undying loyalty from the workers. The concept of seven day work weeks and mandatory free overtime doesn't go over big with the American employees, leading to a constant clash between the workers and the management.
