Droit dans le mur est un film réalisé par Pierre Richard en 1997.

Synopsis

Romain a été une des plus grandes stars du milieu comique. Mais cette époque étant définitivement révolue, plus aucun de ses spectacles ne fait recette. Ayant déjà dépensé toute sa fortune puis vendu de fait sa belle propriété, il se voit contraint de postuler chez un énième producteur dont l'entretien se solde sans surprise par un cuisant échec. En même temps que sa carrière, c'est sa famille et ses amis, sauf le "souffre-douleur" Lucchino et tout le reste qui l'abandonnent... sans compter sur sa maîtresse qui n'a cesse de le cribler de reproches et sur un indicateur lancé à ses trousses.

Pierre Malaquet is a creative, zany and incredibly scatterbrained young man, not of this world, always getting into comic situations. He is hired to a big advertising agency "Jerico" on his mother's recommendation. Full of bizarre advertising ideas, he meddles in other people's business and tries to remake everything in his own manner. His commercials resemble horror films; themes of death and violence seem to amuse him, black humor is present in all of his works. He is convinced that "shocking" ads are the most effective. His actions annoy his coworkers, but to their great surprise, the strict boss Mr. Guiton forgives him for all his tricks - all because he is secretly involved with Malaquet's mother Glycia.

Georges Vallier is a famous screenwriter author of vaudevilles. He jealously keeps the secret from the existance of his "ghostwriter" Pierre Renaud, without frustrating him. However, he invites Pierre to replace him at a cocktail given by Aldo Barazzutti, an Italian filmstar. While thinking he is Georges Vallier, Barazzutti asks him to go with him in Tunisia for the screenwriting of his film. Taking the opportunity, Pierre Renaud tells Georges Vallier that he quits working for him and leaves with Barazzutti for Tunisia. He will later reveal the truth by telling him that he is not Georges Vallier. Pierre leaves temporarily his wife Charlotte, about to give birth, in Paris.

Pierre Gastié-Leroy (Pierre Richard) is the son of a wealthy director of a factory of weapon manufacturing (Bernard Blier). Despite his parents, two generous uncles and a bishop godfather who try to inculcate him the rigid values of his social level, Pierre is a dreamer, antimilitaristic, social educator who dreams of saving three thugs, his "little guys" at the limit of delinquency. After several resounding failures that sent him to prison, Pierre is ordered by his father to join his factory to direct the social service. Tired of the venality of his father and the foolishness of the "little guys", Pierre hires them at the factory. They will have fun making mischief and being overzealous to convince the supervisors on increasing the working rhythms, denouncing the trade union leaders, battling a strike and finally, stealing 500 tanks to sell them back to the black market. A demonstration of new remote-controlled missiles attended by the Minister for Defence turns into fiasco. Injured in his pride, the father Gastié-Leroy wants to show the reliability of his product by pointing the fire at his own factory.
