Third-rate talent agent Sammy Kanin (
Billy Crystal) is more devoted to his career than his wife Serena (
Kathleen Quinlan) and son Nick (
Zane Carney), so instead of going to Nick's birthday party, he chooses to travel to Romania where his teen client Justin Allen (
Rider Strong) is acting in a period adventure movie. When Sammy's auto swerves off the road, he wakes up in a monastery, having been removed from the wreckage by sensitive,
Shakespeare-quoting, 7'7"-tall giant, Max (pro basketball player
Gheorghe Muresan), a ward of the monks who works as a monastery caretaker. Sammy sees Max as his ticket to the top, gets him a warrior role in the adventure movie, and takes him back to the U.S. where Max hopes to win back a long-ago girlfriend Lillianna (
Joanna Pacula), living in Gallup, New Mexico. Sammy and Max head for Vegas, where actor
Steven Seagal (as himself) is shooting a film with a villain role perfect for Max. When Sammy contacts Lillianna, she expresses disinterest in Max, forcing Sammy to seek a solution that can bring the two together.
