Synopsis

A filmmaker intends making a film adaptation of a play by Edward Bond entitled "In the company of men". To that end, he gathers together several actors for screen tests and rehearsals which he films. The film is about men in big business, about the stratagems they employ in achieving their ends. The main character is Leonard, the adopted son of an important businessman named Jurrieu. Unused to the world in which he now finds himself, Leonard is drawn into a battle between two industrialists – his father, who runs an armaments company, and Hammer, the head of an international distribution company. Unwittingly, Leonard becomes the pawn in Hammer’s unscrupulous game of corporate politics...
