In this action-packed comedy, Maz Jobrani stars as Jimmy Vestvood, an Iranian-American dreamer whose life is a far cry from the heroic American action movies he idolizes. Working a mundane job and living with his traditional father, played by Marshall Manesh, Jimmy’s world is turned upside down when a case of mistaken identity propels him into the center of a national security crisis. Believed to be a top operative, Jimmy is suddenly recruited by a shadowy government agent, John Heard, and finds himself partnered with a sharp and skeptical analyst, Deanna Russo. Thrust into a dangerous mission involving a mysterious figure portrayed by Sheila Vand, this unlikely hero must navigate a labyrinth of spies, secret plots, and his own insecurities. Directed by Jonathan Kesselman, the film is a hilarious fish-out-of-water adventure that blends cultural satire with heartfelt aspiration, as Jimmy discovers that becoming an "Amerikan Hero" requires more than just mimicking his silver-screen idols—it demands embracing his own unique identity.
