Spoilers ahead
Director Ron Howard presents a curious, tongue‑in‑cheek look at a long‑lost “movie of the week” that pretends to adapt Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal, with Johnny Depp portraying the businessman. The film opens in 1986, when a young boy stumbles into Trump’s office clutching a copy of the book, and a call from Merv Griffin, Patton Oswalt, sets the stage as Griffin refuses to sell him the Taj Mahal Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. Trump proceeds to recount his background and personal history to educate the boy.
