In the big-screen adaptation of Mel Brooks' Tony Award winning musical, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick return to their celebrated roles as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a scheming theatrical producer and his mousy CPA who hit upon the perfect plan to embezzle a fortune: raise far more money than you need to produce a sure-fire Broadway flop and then (since no one will expect anything back) pocket the difference. To do this, they need the ultimate bad play, which they find in the musical 'Springtime for Hitler.' When their new production is hailed as a toast-of-the-town hit, however, the duo is taken completely by surprise. Will Ferrell also brings his spot-on comic talents to the role of Franz Liebkind, the neo-Nazi playwright (and pigeon fancier) responsible for penning the "worst play ever written."
