Synopsis:

When fast-talking salesman Sam (Jeremy Renner) and small-time inventor Matt (Dallas Roberts) team-up to take the world by storm they are in for more than a few disappointments along the way. Scheming to develop the 'next big thing' and make their respective fortunes, the friends are stifled by a run of bad luck and a gambling habit that threatens to shut down their business for good. But with a little hard work, dogged perseverance and a truck-load of luck the two friends attempt to forge on with one last idea that may just change their lives forever. Also featuring Ayelet Zurer, Ingenious is an illuminating true story of friendship in the face of adversity, reaffirming the power of sheer ingenuity and exploring Edison's grand idea that "genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."

Two lifelong friends, a small-time inventor (Dallas Roberts, 3:10 TO YUMA) and a silver-tongued salesman (two-time Oscar-nominee Jeremy Renner, THE HURT LOCKER) overcome hard times in Tucson, Arizona with hope and humor. Thanks to a series of comical mishaps and misadventures, the duo hit rock bottom before eventually striking gold with an "ingenious" invention that just might be their ticket to the big-time! Also starring Ayelet Zurer (MUNICH) and Richard Kind (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM). Directed by Jeff Balsmeyer (DANNY DECKCHAIR) and written by Mike Cram, who based the story on his own experiences as one of the inventors of the talking bottle opener, as seen in the movie.

A rags-to-riches story of two friends, a small-time inventor and a sharky salesman, who hit rock bottom before coming up with a gizmo that becomes a worldwide phenomenon.
