Struggling Hollywood film producer Charlie Berns is on the verge of suicide when his aspiring screenwriter nephew Lionel arrives from New Jersey with a script about 19th century British statesman Benjamin Disraeli. Charlie agrees to make the film, but only when he converts the literate PBS-style script (that he didn't read) into an action adventure Middle Eastern espionage film, Ben Disraeli: Freedom Fighter.
The official trailer for The Deal, starring WIlliam H. Macy, Meg Ryan, LL Cool J, and Elliott Gould! Distributed by Peace Arch Entertainment. Directed by Steven Schachter. Meet Charlie Berns, a guy whose suicidal tendencies give him the chutzpah to con a major studio into a $100 million deal on a script he hasn't even read. At the very moment when his idealistic screenwriter nephew knocks on the door, toting a solemn art-house period script about Benjamin Disraeli, Charlie has literally had it with life. But the trade papers have announced that a recently converted black action star is actively seeking Jewish material, so the serendipity is too absurd to resist.

When a trailer park deal is going down, it's mowing down!
Ran through the field that I'd once known
Read the books, traveled alone
But I can't say that I was by myself
You were always with me, we had no one else
And if I had my way I might just go alone
And if we can't agree, I'll take my things and go
I realized you helped along the way
But do I owe you everything I earned my way?
We will always say goodnight
We will always say what's right
We can never say goodbye
Here's to the time spent on the road
And here's to the girls they'd come and go
Here's for the time I lost your keys
And for all the times you brought me to my knees
Let's talk along the way, who's given in?
We'll make it through this, and yet be friends
There's something about this thing that we've lost sight
How we all did get along, I think we might
