Based on an original screenplay by Kevin Etten and Tom Gormican, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent begins with Nicolas Cage (Nicolas Cage) sincerely struggling in his acting career. His remaining skills as a performer are being questioned, he can’t land roles, and he is ready to throw in the towel and quit the profession. Still, however, he has bills to pay, and thus he can’t refuse when his agent (Neil Patrick Harris) tells him about a rich individual named Javi (Pedro Pascal) who wants to pay the Con Air star one million dollars to attend his upcoming birthday party.
