About America
The zany crew of a New York cable TV station accidentally bounce a signal off the moon, bringing them worldwide attention.
Directed by Robert Downey Sr., America leans on a strong ensemble — Zack Norman, Tammy Grimes, Michael J. Pollard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1986.
