English Summary:

Swimming with Sharks (also known as The Boss and Buddy Factor) is a 1994 American comedy-drama film written and directed by George Huang and starring Kevin Spacey, Frank Whaley and Michelle Forbes.

Buddy Ackerman, an influential movie mogul, hires Guy, a naïve young writer, as his assistant. Guy, who had just graduated from film school, believes that his new job is a golden opportunity. Despite warnings from Rex, the outgoing assistant who has become hardened under Buddy's reign, Guy remains optimistic.

Buddy turns out to be the boss from hell; he treats Guy like a slave, subjects him to sadistic (and public) verbal abuse, and has him bending over backward to do meaningless errands that go beyond just his work life. Guy is humiliated and forced to bear the brunt of his insults. Guy's only solace is his new girlfriend Dawn, a producer at Buddy's firm. When Buddy apparently fires Guy in a phone call, Guy finally snaps and takes Buddy hostage in order to exact revenge. He ties Buddy up and subjects him to severe beatings, torture and mind games. It is later revealed that due to a botched call waiting function on Buddy's home phone, Guy hears Buddy and Dawn arranging a rendezvous at Buddy's house.

Hungarian Summary:

A hollywoodi filmiparba nem könnyű bekerülni - ezt Guy, a végzős főiskolás is tudja. Ám amikor Buddy, a híres producer asszisztense lesz, azt gondolja, minden kapu nyitva áll előtte. Hamar rá kell azonban jönnie, hogy korántsem olyan egyszerű az élet Hollywoodban, főként ha az ember kezdő. Guy nem hagyja magát, és bosszút áll Buddy-n?

A Filmcápák hálójában, Kevin Spacey főszereplésével, mulattató, ámde szatirikus képet mutat napjaink filmes álomvilágáról.
