Amos and Andrew

When famous Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sterling (Samuel L. Jackson) moves into a new home on an up-tight all-white New England resort island, he is mistaken by his new neighbours as a thief, who call the police. The Chief of Police, Cecil Talliver and his band of bungling deputies show-up and then the fun begins. When Talliver realizes that he and his deputies have shot at a famous man, he must engineer a cover-up by using a con-artist Amos Odell (Nicolas Cage) who is currently sitting in a jail cell.
