The Producers August 9, 2008

Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a scheming theatrical producer and his mousy CPA, hit upon the perfect plan to embezzle a fortune: raise far more money than you need to produce a sure-fire Broadway flop and then (since no one will expect anything back), you pocket the difference. To do this, they need the ultimate bad play, which they find in the musical 'Springtime for Hitler'. Their plans come to naught and the duo are taken completely by surprise when their new production is hailed as a toast-of-the-town hit. Soon Max and Leo are arrested and sentenced to five years in Sing Sing. At Sing Sing, they hatch another plan that has surprising consequences for everyone.
