The film is composed of multiple comedy shorts presented through an overarching segment titled The Pitch, in which Charlie Wessler Dennis Quaid, a mad screenwriter, is attempting to pitch a script to film executive Griffin Schraeder Greg Kinnear. After revealing several of the stories in his script, Wessler becomes agitated when Schraeder dismisses his outrageous ideas, and he pulls a gun on him and forces him to listen to multiple other stories before making Schraeder consult his manager, Bob Mone Common, to purchase the film. When they do so, Mones condescending, humiliating attitude toward Schraeder angers him to the point that, after agreeing to make the film the biggest film since Howard the Duck, he confronts Mone in the parking lot with a gun and tries to make him perform fellatio on the security guard Will Sasso Wessler had gotten on the lot by doing the same thing and kill him if he does not make the film. Wessler tries to calm Schraeder down with more story ideas to no avail, but Mone pulls out a gun and shoots Schraeder to death. The segment ends with it being revealed that it is being shot by a camera crew as part of the movie, leading into the final segments.The structure of the film released in some countries, like the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, differs. Instead of a pitch, the films are connected by a group of three teenagers searching for the most banned film in the world, Movie 43, which will ultimately lead to the destruction of civilization.
