American Dreamer

Vertical Entertainment | Release Date: March 8, 2024

Summary: American Dreamer, based on a true story from Chicago Public Radio’s The American Life, is the story of Phil Loder (Peter Dinklage), a twice divorced, frustrated, underpaid professor of economics, whose grand dream of home ownership is tragically out of reach. When an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way, Phil strikes a deal with Astrid Finnelli (Shirley MacLaine), a lonely, childless, near-death widow who offers her sprawling estate for pennies. But Phil quickly learns the deal is too good to be true and the American dream is not quite what it used to be.
