== Plot ==
Cash-strapped actor/director Rafe Stoker (Smith) reluctantly agrees to put up almost all of his personal fortune as collateral to shady investors to complete production on his action film. In turn, they hire Harvey (Girardin), an unstable biker, to sabotage the production so that they can collect on Stoker's pledge. Harvey and his gang engage in escalating acts of violence against Stoker's film crew and other random people, while Stoker desperately attempts to complete his film shoot amid other production delays. After completing the movie, Stoker and his girlfriend Julie (Woronov) are gunned down by thugs hired by his backers.
