Tim Robbins plays a Bill Gates type of character who is the owner of a computer company under investigation by the government. He hires Phillippe to finish a computer job before the deadline. However, after working there for some time he discovers things are not as they seem. The film offers some chuckles here and there especially for Robbins' good parody on Gates.
