A failed businessman (Hanks) takes his idea for a holographic meeting system to Saudi Arabia in the hopes of selling it to the royal family. He’s at a crossroads, love ensues, positive music plays. It doesn’t really seem like the kind of film that should rise to Tom Hanks’ level, despite being based on the acclaimed novel by Dave Eggers.
