LOGLINE
It's a dream come true when Mexican drug thug Juan takes an
interest in producing Jerry' screenplay, but the production
soon turns deadly.
SUMMARY
JERRY, a screenwriter and BARRY, an award-winning actor,
flee for their lives in the Mexican desert, chased by
Mexican drug lord JUAN and his armed men.
Flashback to the beginning: we learn that down-on-his-luck
screenwriter Jerry has messed up his big chance, and he
feels so low he tries to kill himself.
Friend BIFF turns up at the opportune moment to announce
that he's found someone who wants to make Jerry's movie.
After reminding Jerry that he wants to succeed at all costs,
Jerry reluctantly gets in the vehicle with the Mexicans.
At Juan's luxurious home, Jerry crosses paths with the
beautiful HERMIONE. His bliss soon turns to horror when he
discovers Juan is a psychopath who plans to kidnap the
leading actors for the film.
Terrified actors arrive, but Barry ends up enjoying the
experience after falling in love with Jerry' script. The
filming begins, and the actors all do as they're told,
especially after witnessing Juan ruthlessly killing five
men.
Jerry is torn between his love for the filmmaking process
and Hermione, and the voice of reason, which ends up coming
from a terrified Al. Desperate to leave, Al makes an attempt
at escape only to be killed.
Jerry only really realizes just how trapped he is after
Hermione makes him aware. The filming ends, and all that is
left is the wrap party, after which Juan will have no need
for any of them.
Barry comes up with a plan to run away disguised as women,
and they succeed after having managed to fool the fat and
stupid guard CARLO. They run and hide in the desert.
Juan soon realizes what's happened and after killing the
remaining actors goes after Jerry and Barry. Jerry hides in
a hole he's dug but Barry is caught and tortured.
Hermione searches for Jerry, and is relieved to find Barry
dead and not him. Brother Juan is furious with her for
loving Jerry and this makes him more determined to go into
the mountains after him.
In the mountains, Jerry goes under a transformation,
becoming one with the land and attracting the support of
wolves. He concocts some explosives from materials he finds.
Jerry and Juan battle to the death. Hermione arrives and
keeps Juan from dealing a fatal blow to Jerry. Wild wolves
descend on Juan to finish him off. Hermione and Jerry ride
off.
At an awards ceremony, various cast members receive awards;
the film, as well as the film within the film, was all just
a film.
