Les Mayfield directs
Samuel L. Jackson and
Eugene Levy in the
buddy action comedy The Man.
Jackson plays ATF agent
Derrick Vann. His partner, who it turns out was corrupt, has been killed after a cache of guns were stolen from the ATF office in Detroit. Internal affairs believe
Derrick was in on the gun theft, forcing him to go off on his own to bring the bad guys to justice. Dental supply salesman
Andy Fiddler (
Levy) happens to be in Detroit for a business convention. During the course of figuring out who is responsible for his partner's death,
Derrick arrests
Andy because of a miscommunication. Soon the hard-edged law enforcer and the meek businessman team up to extricate themselves from their life-threatening predicament.
