Cadillac Man is a 1990 comedy film starring Robin Williams and Tim Robbins.

[edit] Synopsis

Brooklyn car salesman Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) must deal with the ever-increasing pressures in his life: he has an ex-wife demanding alimony, a daughter who's missing, a married mistress (Fran Drescher) and a single mistress (Lori Petty) who are both desperately in love with him, and a two-day deadline to either sell 12 cars or lose his job. In addition, he has an outstanding loan to a Mafia Don which he must either quickly repay, or lose his life.

On the day of the big dealership car sale (and the final day of O'Brien's deadline), the car dealership is taken hostage by a AK-47-toting motorcyclist (Tim Robbins) who believes his wife (Annabella Sciorra) is cheating on him. Joey manages to talk the man out of doing any harm to the other hostages, as police surround the dealership. After most of the hostages are released, the police wound the assailant due to belief that his gun was still loaded. Joey promises to stick with him while he recovers. In the end, he gets back together with his wife and drives off as the hero of the day.
