THE BIG EMPTY

John Person (Jon Favreau) is a struggling actor in Hollywood. Working part-time as a messenger, he delivers scripts he'll never star in to producers he'll never work for. Behind on his rent and heavily in debt, he accepts an unsolicited offer from a strange neighbor (Bud Cort) to courier a blue suitcase up to the desert truckstop of Baker, California. Despite the warnings of his next door neighbor (Joey Lauren Adams), Jon leaves for the desert. There, in the middle of nowhere, at a seedy motel in the shadow of The World's Largest Thermometer, he'll simply deliver the locked suitcase to a trucker called Cowboy (Sean Bean) and be paid twenty-seven thousand dollars in cold, hard cash. John's given a loaded gun and told he must defend the blue suitcase with his life. It's easy money. However, on arrival he discovers he's already missed the mysterious man and soon he's reluctantly mixed up with a young local vixen (Rachael Leigh Cook), her hot-headed jealous boyfriend (Adam Beach) and a host of paranoid, alien-obsessed locals (Daryl Hannah, Jon Gries, Melora Walters, Brent Briscoe). When an FBI agent (Kelsey Grammer) arrives at the local watering hole to question him about the murder and decapitation of his strange neighbor and scores of people recently gone missing, John realizes that he might be mixed up in something much more dangerous and bizarre than he ever imagined. Nothing is ever easy. Then, later that dark night, when Cowboy violently appears, John is faced with a choice that might change his life forever.
