After being heard by the entire office shouting death threats at his boss, Nelson panics when he goes in to see his boss again and finds him dead, stabbed in the neck. Before he knows it, Nelson has grabbed the murder weapon and gotten blood all over himself. Knowing that he's now the prime suspect, Nelson runs out of the office and goes on the lam. Though the police soon find out he isn't the killer, Nelson is too busy running from the law to realize that they're not looking for him. [More]

  • The Wrong Guy
  • Comic sensation Dave Foley (TV's NEWS RADIO, ON THE LINE) hands over a hilarious performance as Nelson Hibbert, a bungling executive furious over missing a "promised" promotion. Confronting his boss on the matter, he finds him murdered. Panicking, tripping and screaming his way out of the office, Nelson, covered in "evidence," is sure he'll be pinned with the deed -- even though video proves who-really- dunit. The getaway scheme's a scream as Hibbert crosses paths with the ruthless killer and clumsy cops. A series of on-the-lam mishaps and outrageous misfortunes finally lead him to coy cutie Lynn (Jennifer Tilly, MONSTERS, INC., THE CREW, who convinces him he's the right guy to put the wacky disaster to rest.
