"The Hudsucker Proxy" is a 1994 comedy film directed by the Coen brothers. The movie follows the story of Norville Barnes, a naive business graduate who is unexpectedly installed as the president of Hudsucker Industries, a renowned manufacturing company.
Set in Depression-era New York City, Hudsucker Industries is on the brink of financial collapse after its founder and president, Waring Hudsucker, commits suicide by jumping out of a window. The board of directors, led by Sidney J. Mussburger, devises a stock scam to depress the company's stock value, allowing them to buy majority shares cheaply and take over the corporation.
Mussburger, played by Paul Newman, realizes they need a person to act as a puppet president for Hudsucker Industries. They believe that a naive and incompetent president will cause the stock to plummet. They choose Norville Barnes, portrayed by Tim Robbins, a recently hired mailroom employee who impressed them with a simple drawing of a circle for a new product idea.
As Norville takes on his new role, he introduces the idea of the Hula Hoop to the company, hoping to boost sales and revive the failing business. The Hula Hoop becomes a national sensation, turning Hudsucker Industries into a massive success overnight.
While the company flourishes, Norville's relationship with reporter Amy Archer becomes strained. Amy suspects that Norville is not who he claims to be, spotting a newspaper article showing Norville working in the mailroom just days before being appointed president. She aims to expose him and get to the bottom of the apparent scam.
Meanwhile, Norville struggles with the pressures of running the company and dealing with the cutthroat corporate world. He confides in a mysterious employee, Moses, who claims to be a time traveler. Through their conversations, Norville gains advice and guidance about his position and the deceit surrounding him.
As the plot unfolds, tensions rise, and the fate of Hudsucker Industries hangs in the balance. Amy investigates further and discovers evidence of the stock scam. Norville, realizing the truth, takes action to save the company and expose the conspiracy plotted by Mussburger and the board of directors.
In a dramatic climax, Norville manages to outsmart Mussburger and make a triumphant speech to the shareholders, revealing the true nature of the stock scam and affirming his commitment to the company's success. With the power now back in his hands, Norville reshapes Hudsucker Industries into a more ethical and forward-thinking corporation.
"The Hudsucker Proxy" is a satirical film that explores themes of corporate greed, innocence, and the power of ideas. It combines comedy, romance, and a touch of fantasy, creating an entertaining and imaginative story about one man's journey through the cutthroat world of big business.
