Based on 1968 cult classic comedy, The Producers tells the story of theatrical producer Max Bialystock who realizes the road to his financial redemption lies in producing the worst musical ever written, raising 25,000% of the capital, and pocketing it all when the show is a one-night-only disaster. Aided and abetted by nebbish accountant named Leo Bloom, Bialystock options the rights to a “gay romp with Adolf and Eva.” Of course, if the show, by some insane stretch of credulity, were to become a hit, Bialystock and Bloom would be thrown in jail. And that’s exactly what happens.
