The Luckiest Man in America
Game show thriller recounting the true story of an ice-cream truck driver (Paul Walter Hauser) whose winning streak on 'Press Your Luck' threatens to bankrupt the production company.
An engrossing game show thriller based on the true story of unemployed ice-cream truck driver Michael Larson (Paul Walter Hauser) who hit a winning streak on popular US game show 'Press Your Luck' in 1984. As Michael’s winnings start to mount, the million dollar question becomes: is he a scammer or the luckiest man in America? Director Samir Oliveros perfectly evokes the 1980s atmosphere to recount this David versus Goliath story as the stakes mount both on and off-screen. A stranger-than-fiction gem, featuring terrific performances from Walton Goggins, David Strathairn and Shamier Anderson in support.
