From Barry Sonnenfeld, director of 'Get Shorty' and 'Men In Black', comes the film version of Dave Barry's hilarious bestselling novel, 'Big Trouble', starring Tim Allen and Rene Russo.
In Coconut Grove, Florida, strange things are happening. Eliot Arnold, a struggling ad man, drives home from a meeting with the Client-From-Hell to find his teenage son, Matt, preparing for his turn at a high school game of "killer". Armed only with a Squirtmaster 9000, Matt and his friend are intent on staking out the home of his intended victim Jenny Herk. Only at the Herk household there is already trouble brewing . . .
For Jenny's jerk of a step-father, Arthur, has been embezzling money from his firm - and his employers are the type more likely to provide a concrete overcoat than a golden handshake. They take the idea of terminating Arthur's employment very seriously - outside the Herk residence two hit-men from New Jersey are settling in for a real game of killer.
'Big Trouble' is a comedy about how a bomb in a suitcase changes the lives of a divorced dad, an unhappy housewife, two teenagers, two hit men, two street thugs, two FBI men, and a toad. These people are in big trouble. They have forty-five minutes to save the world. They need forty-six.
