 When grasping director Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) finally finds the  perfect  script, a cheesy sci-fi story called "Chubby Rain", he decides to put everything on the line and give it a shot... gathering together an ambitious young Ohio actress, (Heather Graham) a melodramatic stage actress and a laid back male hopeful. Armed with a handful of illegal immigrants for a crew, a tiny budget, and equipment stolen from a nearby studio, Bowfinger lacks just one thing... Hollywood s hottest action star, Kit Ramsey. (Eddie Murphy). Refusing to give up when Kit doesn t take the part, Bowfinger and his crew do whatever it takes to complete the flick - secretly filming Kit without his permission and using his nerdy look-alike brother (also played by Eddie Murphy) to fill in for remaining scenes.
