An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn (1998)

In the heart of Hollywood, renowned film editor Alan Smithee finally gets his big break - an opportunity to direct the star-studded action-adventure, "Trio," featuring the talents of Whoopi Goldberg, Jackie Chan, and Sylvester Stallone. This dream-come-true turns into a living nightmare as Smithee soon discovers his role as a puppet, controlled by the cunning president of Challenger Films and his manipulative executive producer. From the initial take to the final cut, Smithee is left in the dark, his name unknowingly becoming synonymous with a cinematic disaster. Adding salt to his wounds, the irony of his situation is not lost on him; "Alan Smithee" is the synonymous pseudonym that disgruntled directors use when their film is so catastrophically bad that it threatens their reputation. Yet, Smithee's real name is his pseudonym, leaving him no escape route from the impending disaster. As desperation engulfs him, Smithee makes a bold move, stealing the master reels and going underground. He finds unexpected allies in the Brothers Brothers, independent black filmmakers who are no strangers to the harsh realities of Hollywood. Together, they face the ultimate cinematic conundrum - negotiate a deal to re-edit the movie in Smithee's vision or watch the film, and possibly Smithee's career, go up in flames. "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn" is a comedic exploration of the ruthlessly competitive world of filmmaking, where dreams can turn into nightmares, and the only way out may be to burn it all down.
