Multi-billionaire Goddard Bolt is about to make a deal that will change his life forever. To secure the rights to develop a ghetto, Bolt must survive on it's impoverished streets penniless for 30 days. What starts as a business transaction soon becomes an eye-opening journey for the privileged man, who learns about life without wealth, the power of self-reliance, and the joy of life's simple pleasures. With the help of a feisty bag lady played by Lesley Ann Warren, (Clue, Victor/Victoria, and Cinderella) and a newfound appreciation for humanity, Bolt discovers the true meaning of being filthy rich. Acclaimed actor, writer, and director Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Spaceballs) brings his unique brand of comic lunacy to the streets in this warmhearted comedy (Roger Ebert), offering a heartfelt look at how one man regains his humanity by losing everything else. Rounding out the stellar cast are Jeffrey Tambor (TV's Arrested Development, Transparent, Hellboy), Stuart Pankin (TV's Not Necessarily the News, Fatal Attraction, Congo), Howard Morris (TV's The Andy Griffith Show, Splash), Teddy Wilson (TV's Good Times, Blood In, Blood Out), and Rudy de Luca (High Anxiety, History of the World, Part I).
