Griffin Mill est producteur à Hollywood. Depuis peu, il reçoit des menaces de mort, et suspecte un scénariste, qu´il régulièrement éconduit. Au cours d´une altercation, il le tue accidentellement, et voit soudain son horizon s´obscurcir: la police le soupçonne, son nouveau collaborateur menace son pouvoir, et les lettres anonymes continuet...

A Hollywood studio executive with a shaky moral compass finds himself caught up in a criminal situation that would fit right into one of his movie projects, in this biting industry satire from Robert Altman. Mixing elements of film noir with sly insider comedy, The Player, based on a novel by Michael Tolkin, functions as both a nifty stylish murder story and a commentary on its own making, and it is stocked with a heroic supporting cast (Peter Gallagher, Whoopi Goldberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean Stockwell, Fred Ward) and an astonishing lineup of star cameos that make for a remarkable Hollywood who’s who. This complexly woven grand entertainment (which kicks off with one of American cinema’s most audacious and acclaimed opening shots) was the film that marked Altman’s triumphant commercial comeback in the early 1990s.
