Watch Peter Dinklage and Shirley MacLaine in the American Dreamer trailer

Directed by Paul Dektor, the film stars Peter Dinklage, Shirley MacLaine, Kim Quinn, Danny Pudi, Michelle Mylett, with Danny Glover and Matt Dillon.

American Dreamer, based on a true story from Chicago Public Radio’s The American Life, is the story of Phil Loder (Dinklage), a twice-divorced, frustrated, underpaid professor of economics, whose grand dream of home ownership is tragically out of reach. When an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way, Phil strikes a deal with Astrid Finnelli (MacLaine), a lonely, childless, near-death widow who offers her sprawling estate for pennies. But Phil quickly learns the deal is too good to be true and the American dream is not quite what it used to be.

American Dreamer hits US cinema and On Demand from 8th March 2024.
