When was the last time you were genuinely surprised by a movie and had a great time in the theater? You will with the thrilling new game-show drama The Luckiest Man in America, starring Paul Walter Hauser (The Fantastic Four), Walton Goggins (Fallout), and other big names. The recently released film is actually based on a true story, set in the 1980s around the game show Press Your Luck — and a conman who thought he could beat the system for an endless supply of cash. To say more about the juicy story of The Luckiest Man in America would be a disservice, but MovieWeb recently caught up with the film’s director, Samir Oliveros, to learn more about his experience bringing the wild story to life — including how he stumbled upon the real-life craziness in the first place.
