Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a talented actor, but his demanding nature and stubborn temperament have antagonized every producer in New York. Now his agent insists no one will hire him. But Michael needs money—eight thousand dollars to be exact—and to earn it, he's willing to do anything to play the role of a lifetime. Also starring Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Bill Murray and Geena Davis, director Sydney Pollack's (The Firm, Out of Africa) heart-filled classic heralded a new era of Hollywood wig-flipping, and set a new standard for unpredictable, laugh-out-loud comedy.
