Summary
Craig Schwartz is nearing the end of his string. A gifted street puppeteer, Craig nonetheless is coming up empty-cupped. In order to make some money, Craig's pet-obsessed wife encourages him to put his nimble fingers to good use and take a job as a filing clerk. One day he accidentally discovers a door-- a portal into the mind of John Malkovich. For 15 minutes, he experiences the ultimate head trip--HE is John Malkovich! Then he's dumped out onto the New Jersey turnpike. With his beautiful office mate Maxine, he hatches a plan to let others into Malkovich for just $200 a trip. But this is only the beginning.
