Story revolves around Craig Schwartz (John Cusack), a puppeteer struggling in a wintry economic climate. His wife Lotte (Cameron Diaz) works as a pet store clerk and brings in most of the household income...as well as a ridiculous number of animals. Their relationship has completely lost its spark, but change comes after Craig gets a job as a file clerk at Lestercorp. Everything about this new job just seems a little off, though: the ceilings are five feet high, co-workers communicate on a different wavelength and his new boss claims to be over 100 years old. More change comes when Craig discovers a small door in his office which leads to the mind of John Horatio Malkovich (John Malkovich). Amazed, he shares his discovery with his wife and his devious coworker, Maxine (Catherine Keener). Maxine hatches the plan to sell admission into John Malkovich's head...and the whole story rushes headlong into absurdity from there.
What are the potential consequences of using Malkovich's mind as an amusement park ride?
