Jack allein im Serienwahn (1991)
Jack Gable, Drehbuchautor einer erfolgreichen TV-Serie, erwacht nach einem Unfall im Krankenhaus. Irgendwie wirkt hier alles merkwürdig vertraut - Jack ist in seiner eigenen Serie gelandet! Nach dem ersten Schock wird Jack schnell klar, dass die neue Umgebung durchaus Vorteile mit sich bringt: zum Beispiel die Nähe von Rachel, der temperamentvollen Hauptdarstellerin, in die er schon seit längerer Zeit heimlich verliebt ist. Als sich auch noch herausstellt, dass Jack mit seiner Schreibmaschine den Gang der Ereignisse beeinflussen kann, scheint das Glück zum Greifen nahe. Doch dann tauchen ungeahnte Probleme auf - und auch die sympathische Janet spielt plötzlich eine unerwartet große Rolle.
Der Regisseur: Tom Mankiewicz
