About the Movie
Once upon a time, Buck Howard (John Malkovich) spent his days in the limelight as a mentalist extraordinaire! Nowadays, it’s clear to everyone except Buck that his act has lost its luster. Convinced his comeback is imminent, Buck needs a new road manager and personal assistant. Recent law school drop-out and would-be writer Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) needs a job and a purpose. Working for the pompous, has-been mentalist fills the former requirement, but how it satisfies the latter is questionable. Nonetheless, with the aid of a fiery publicist (Emily Blunt) and a bold stroke of luck, Buck lands back in the American consciousness, taking Troy along for the ride.

瞒着父亲(汤姆•汉克斯 Tom Hanks饰)从法学院辍学准备当作家的特洛伊•盖博(科林•汉克斯 Colin Hanks 饰)在报纸上看到一则征个人助理的广告,发现自己的未来老板竟然是曾经风靡一时的“伟大的巴克•霍华德”。巴克(约翰•马尔科维奇 John Malkovich 饰)是个精神第一论者,能通过意念催眠、透视和寻找物品。他的神奇表演曾使他以嘉宾身份出席过61次NBC电视台约翰尼•卡森主持的《今夜脱口秀》节目。但随着时间的流逝,巴克千篇一律的表演方式逐渐失去魅力,目前只以巡回表演为生。特洛伊作为巴克的旅行经理人和个人助理,随着他在美国各州的乡间小镇上旅行演出,每到一处巴克都以“我热爱这个小镇”为开场白,且不论观众多寡,他都精心准备全力以赴。在媒体公关瓦莱莉(艾米丽•布朗特 Emily Blunt 饰)的帮助下,巴克突然阴差阳错的重回公众视线,并被邀至拉斯维加斯长期表演。可就在巴克命运扭转之际,另一件不可思议的怪事发生了……
