Michael Keaton (Night Shift, Mr. Mom, Beetlejuice) shines as whip-smart Pennsylvania wheeler-dealer Hunt Stevenson in this rousing comedy by director Ron Howard (Splash, Cocoon, Apollo 13)! When Hunt persuades a Japanese automotive firm to reopen his home town’s defunct auto factory, he’s a hero. But when the Japanese hire him to enforce their policies among his American co-workers, he goes from hero to zero in seconds flat. It’s manpower vs. horsepower on the assembly line. Salami vs. sushi in the cafeteria. And a head-on cultural collision that’s enough to upset the world’s balance of laughter. See how really crazy things can get when Michael Keaton’s in charge in Gung Ho—co-starring Gedde Watanabe, George Wendt, John Turturro, Mimi Rogers and Clint Howard!

When a western Pennsylvania auto plant is acquired by a Japanese company, brokering auto worker Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) faces the tricky challenge of mediating the assimilation of two clashing corporate cultures. At one end is the Japanese plant manager (Gedde Watanabe) and the sycophant (Sab Shimono) who is angling for his position. At the other, a number of disgruntled long-time union members (George Wendt, John Turturro) struggle with the new exigencies of Japanese quality control.
