The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nicolas Cage stars as…Nick Cage in the hyper-meta action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal, The Mandalorian). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish, The Card Counter) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.

"...one of the funniest movies of the year."
Jude Dry, IndieWire
"The filmmakers pull from every corner of Cage's filmography to craft something transcendent."
Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
