An all-star cast led by Gabriel Byrne, Ben Kingsley, Mini Rogers, Jeffrey Tambor, Illeana Douglas, Paul Mazursky, Chris Mulkey and Kathy Baker takes on a shattering expose of the back-stabbing world of big business from the award- winning pen of Larrry Gelbart (Tootsie/TV's M*A*S*H). Two media moguls with the world at their feet- under their feet in fact- want more. Each wants the other out of his way so he can be No. 1 and what starts as battle to buy football team ends up as a media war with no holds barred. Their weapons: the newspapers, magazines and television stations they own. Their ammunition: blackmail, bribery, sexual manipulation and revelation. These two businessmen are about to discover that when it comes to taking care of business, there are no weapons deadlier than the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION.
