Based on a true story, that's Napoleon Dynamite crossed with The Hudsucker Proxy. Ben Casper's dream inventions are so ambitious that he's bankrupted his family, and nearly driven his patient, understanding wife to run for it. Ben has absolutely failed at a series of would-be inventions forever... UNTIL he finally hits on a truly winning invention.

Just a few big problems - he has to get his invention to a trade show in Nevada (despite having zero money, zero prototype, and zero people who want to help him).

Ben convinces his reluctant, skittish, risk-averse employee to come with him on a journey that will nearly end their lives, so they can reach the trade show in Nevada that will change their lives.
