Description

In 1974, one man made an appointment with history. His story is gripping, shocking, unbelievable...and true.

Samuel J. Bicke is a salesman whose overly idealistic mindset is hopelessly at odds with the life that surrounds him. He desperately clings to his estranged wife and children, a job that undermines his basic belief in trust and loyalty and the delusion of starting up his own independent business. But as his world begins to crumble into disarray, it triggers a crusade for redemption that has shattering consequences.

With a stunning central performance from Academy Award winner Sean Penn, and a supporting cast featuring Academy Award nominees Don Cheadle and Naomi Watts, it is a poignant yet savage critique of a modern, consumerist society. Shot through with the power of such classic 70's cinema as "Taxi Driver" and "The Parallax View" it exposes both the dark side of the American dream and the plight of those who refuse to fall under its spell.
