David O. Selznick, famed Hollywood producer, has a problem. He's three weeks into shooting his latest historical epic, Gone with the Wind, but the script just isn't working. His solution? Fire the director, pull Victor Fleming off The Wizard of Oz, and lock himself, Fleming, and script doctor Ben Hecht in his office for five days until they have a screenplay. With only peanuts and bananas to sustain them, they work through and act out Margaret Mitchell's bestseller and in the process make movie history.
