Spoilers ahead
Oscar Pettinari is a young hick from the suburbs of Rome who drifts around Cinecittà, trying, with mixed luck, to impress acquaintances and producers with tall tales about his imagined stint as a stuntman in Rambo-like action movies. The film opens when he is rejected even as an extra for an American sci-fi production. While bragging to bystanders about his supposed past jobs in the movie industry, the disappointed Oscar Pettinari meets the whimsical lawyer Giangiacomo Pigna Corelli in Selci. The confident lawyer impresses him and inspires him to stage a fake incident, playing the victim of a car crash to pressure the foreign producer into either paying damages or offering him an acting opportunity.
