In the tradition of GROSSE POINTE BLANK comes an unconventional comedy about two air traffic controllers whose intense rivalry and penchant for one-upmanship causes hilarious havoc with their careers, their marriages - and the planes in their airspace! Nick Falzone (John Cusack) is the busiest, and the best, air traffic controller on Long Island – until Russell Bell (Billy Bob Thornton) roars into town like a motorcycle – riding cowboy. Fueled by caffeine and machismo, the two men embark upon an uproarious contest of wit and wills that can ultimately only have one winner.
