Gung Ho, du saké dans le moteur (1986)
À Hadleyville, Pennsylvanie, l'usine d'automobiles ferme ses portes pendant neuf mois, et l'essentiel des habitants se retrouve au chômage. Une entreprise japonaise, Assan Motors, rachète l'entreprise et fait venir à Hadleyville une équipe de managers japonais, dirigée par Oishi Kazuhiro, un cadre timide et peu considéré par ses collègues. Les employés américains de l'usine sont réengagés, mais mis à l'épreuve. Leur représentant syndical, Hunt Stevenson, va avoir toutes les peines du monde à faire comprendre aux Japonais la façon de travailler avec une main d’œuvre américaine. Pourtant, une amitié se tisse progressivement entre Kazuhiro et Stevenson...
