The game was directed by Michael Berns and was produced by his brother, Adam Berns, and Matt Pyken, who also work as the game's scriptwriter.

As the game was not released worldwide, the cutscenes were made into direct to DVD movies in parts of Europe and Asia. Some of the scenes used in the DVD movie were reshot to improve on the scenes from the game. A pilot episode related to the game was also made, but no TV networks were interested to air it in the 1990s.

The game takes places throughout Los Angeles where you play Jack Fremont, an average guy who about to get evicted out of his apartment. He's known for his knowledge of popular culture and brags about it openly to the point where he's recruited by the CIA to help them investigate [[WesternTerrorists an ex-Soviet film/TV director turned KGB operative named Vasily Reznikoff aka the Fox]] who's trying to plot a bombing attack in Hollywood for [[SeriousBusiness not properly giving him screening credits for almost the majority of the films and TV shows produced in Hollywood]]. He also demands to be paid ransom for 100 million dollars or he'll use [[NuclearOption Soviet-era nuclear missiles]] to start the attack.
