Synopsis:

Documentary filmmaker Philip Haas made his dramatic feature film debut with The Music of Chance, adapted from Paul Auster's terse, existential novel. The film follows the plight of two hapless drifters -- Jim Nashe (Mandy Patinkin), who is escaping family and responsibility with an inheritance and a red BMW, and Jack Pozzi (James Spader), a down-on-his-luck gambler and world class manipulator. Pozzi convinces Nashe to shoot the works and put his remaining $10,000 into a high stakes poker game against two rich suckers -- reclusive lottery winners Willie Stone (Joel Grey) and Bill Flower (Charles Durning), who share a lavish but isolated country estate, using the remains of their lottery fortune to construct a self-contained world on the grounds of their mansion. Instead of bilking the two millionaires, however, Pozzi and Nashe lose their windfall and find themselves indebted to Stone and Flowers, who compel them to work off their losses by constructing a stone monument on their estate, a chore that results in deception, flight, and possibly murder.

Music Of Chance, The (1995) - A man trying to bury his sorrows by travelling the open road and a resilient gambler who sees opportunity with every cut of the deck. Their encounter with two eccentric millionaires changes their lives forever. Based on a novel by Paul Auster.

Two young men lose a game of poker to two eccentric multi-millionaire senior citizens. In debt and utterly penniless, they contract themselves to build a massive stone wall.
