Middle Men is a 2009 American drama film directed by George Gallo and written by Gallo and Andy Weiss. It stars Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Gabriel Macht and James Caan.[4] The movie is based on the experiences of Christopher Mallick, who was previously associated with the Internet billing companies Paycom and ePassporte. Christopher Mallick has been accused of stealing millions of dollars from his customers at ePassporte to fund the creation of the film.
In 2004 Houston, Jack Harris drives with several million dollars in a duffel bag to deliver to Russian mobsters, worried about the safety of his wife Diana and their children.
In 1997 Los Angeles, Jack has a reputation for solving problems, and helps a sick friend co-managing a newly set up nightclub. Wayne Beering and Buck Dolby are best friends, renting a small dingy flat together, though often hot-headedly at each other's throats. The slacker drug-addicted friends are discussing pornography one evening and Wayne asks why it is still not possible to buy porn on the Internet instead of relying on adult DVDs that have already been watched multiple times. As they discuss the logistics of such a possibility, suddenly a bright idea light-bulb switches on in Buck's head. As a former NASA scientist, Buck takes a mere 15 minutes to create a program to allow online credit card transactions to charge people for looking at porn on their website. To their utter surprise (even at a cheeky $9.99 a pop) they quickly earn thousands of dollars in a matter of just days. In no time at all they're inundated with clients rolling in at all hours. Needing more porn material to satisfy the demand, they approach Nikita Sokoloff, a rather crazed Russian mob boss who owns a local strip club; who agrees to 25% of their business in return for letting them photograph and film his strippers in action.
