About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A cashier poses as a writer for blacklisted talents to submit their work through, but the injustice around him pushes him to take a stand.
While it masquerades as a lighthearted comedy, this film bites back with a sharp, uncomfortable look at the absurdity of McCarthyism. A frantic cashier navigating the blacklist finds himself caught between survivalist wit and a growing, stubborn conscience.
