About Middle Men

In 1995, everyone had a VCR, music was sold in record stores, and the World Wide Web was a newfound discovery. Businessman Jack Harris (Luke Wilson) had the perfect life — a beautiful family and a successful career fixing problem companies. And then he met Wayne Beering (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck Dolby (Gabriel Macht), two brilliant but troubled men, inventors of the method for selling adult entertainment via the Internet.

When Jack agrees to help steer their business, he quickly finds himself caught between a 23-year-old porn star and the FBI, all the while becoming one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his time.

Inspired by a true story.
