Gung Ho

1986 · 1h 51m · Comedy, Drama

Skip it unless you're a completist for '80s workplace comedies—this Michael Keaton vehicle leans too hard on tired fish-out-of-water tropes and dated cultural stereotypes that don't land anymore, even if the premise of East-meets-West corporate clash had real potential.

Plot

When a western Pennsylvania auto plant is acquired by a Japanese company, brokering auto worker Hunt Stevenson faces the tricky challenge of mediating the assimilation of two clashing corporate cultures. At one end is the Japanese plant manager and the sycophant who is angling for his position. At the other, a number of disgruntled long-time union members struggle with the new exigencies of Japanese quality control.

Director: Ron Howard

Cast: Michael Keaton, Gedde Watanabe, George Wendt, Mimi Rogers, John Turturro
