Scrawny and short, high school quarterback Johnny Walker (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) is America’s most unlikely football prospect. Johnny finds himself in the enviable position of being courted by the country’s top football recruiters. However, he’s torn between waiting for a top offer with big bucks, egged on by his best friend Leo (Robert Downey, Jr., Iron Man) or joining his girlfriend, Georgia (Uma Thurman, Kill Bill) at a college where he can pursue a well-rounded education. The temptation for a big payday, coupled with lavish gifts and promises of fame & fortune are just a few of the roadblocks he’ll navigate in this comedy with heart, Johnny Be Good. Directed by Bud Smith from a screenplay written by Steve Zacharias, Jeff Buhai and David Obst, the supporting cast includes Paul Gleason (The Breakfast Club), Jennifer Tilly (Bullets Over Broadway), Seymour Cassel (Minnie and Moskowitz, Valentino) and cameos by famed sportscaster Howard Cossell and football quarterback Jim McMahon.

Inspired by the true story of how a South Korean director was kidnapped in the 70s to invigorate the North’s movie industry, The Juche Idea is both sardonic satire and historical excavation, an exuberant collage that reveals the absurdity at the heart of Kim-Jong-il’s regime.
