The test pilot for the helicopter is Frank Murphy (Scheider, Jaws), who is a sort -
of loose cannon suffering recurring flashbacks about Vietnam.
Keaton leads the way, and he is matched by Zach Galifianakis, in an atypically serious role as the actor's producer and long -
suffering best friend; Edward Norton, as an actor who joins the troupe at the last minute and proves to be a
loose cannon, on and offstage; Naomi Watts, as his loyal leading lady; and, in the juiciest part
of her career to date, Emma Stone, as Keaton's daughter, who's just out
of rehab and working for her father.
