- Comedy: A second-rate talent agent learns some valuable lessons about life after discovering a 7'7" Romanian giant he hopes to put in the movies.
- PLOT:
- Sammy (BILLY CRYSTAL) is a broke, second-rate talent agent who's just been fired by his only client while on location on a movie set in Romania. Despondent over that, and the fact that his separated wife, Serena (KATHLEEN QUINLAN), and son, Nick (ZANE CARNEY), are moving across the country, Sam isn't paying attention and runs his car off the road and nearly drowns in a creek. Believing that he's dead, he's happy to see two giant hands reach down into his car and pull him to safety. Those hands don't belong to God, however, but to Max (GHEORGHE MURESAN), a 7'7" caretaker who lives in a monastery. Once Sammy learns that Max is no ordinary giant and can quote Shakespeare, he instantly sees dollar figures. After casting Max in that local movie in Romania, the two new friends head to America where Sammy hopes to jumpstart his own career by making Max a movie star. Max, however, is more interested in going to see his childhood love, Lillianna (JOANNA PACULA), who now lives in New Mexico, but has never responded to any of the thousands of letters he's sent her over the past two decades. Heading to Las Vegas to audition Max for the latest Steven Seagal movie, Sammy learns some disheartening news about Max that not only changes his attitude toward his giant friend, but also toward himself.
