Hollywood, 1951. Eddie Mannix, Capitol Pictures production exec and top studio fixer, is having another brutal day. Mannix (Josh Brolin) is the guy who gets the call whenever there’s a PR crisis to finesse or a messy scandal to be sponged up. Right now he’s dealing with a wayward starlet who needs to be whacked back into line, and a hayseed cowboy actor (Alden Ehrenreich) who’s been disastrously miscast in a sleek high-society drama. Then there’s DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johansson), star of the studio’s popular aquatic musicals, who while not married at the moment is nevertheless pregnant. And twin-sister gossip columnists Thora and Thessaly Thacker (Tilda Swinton and Tilda Swinton) are sniffing around, too. What next?
That question is quickly answered when Mannix receives a ransom demand for the return of dimwitted dreamboat Baird Whitlock, currently in the final stages of shooting a Biblical epic called Hail, Caesar! Whitlock has been abducted by a group called The Future—what’s that all about?—and if he can’t be retrieved for his big climactic scene with Jesus, the movie will collapse. Christ.
