The story

Challenger Films president Jerry Glover and producer James Edmunds hire acclaimed English editor Alan Smithee to direct Trio, a blockbuster action film starring Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jackie Chan. Though only hired due to his inexperience, which the producers believe will make him controllable, Smithee becomes invested in the project. Edmunds makes frequent changes to the film, hiring many additional writers to retool the script and giving Smithee frequent notes during production.
