Me And Orson Welles is a drama movie starring Zac Efron, Christian McKay and Claire Danes.

The plot : In New York in 1937, seventeen year-old Richard Samuels meets theatre director Orson Welles, whom he convinces to give him the role of Lucius in Julius Caesar, Broadway's first Shakespearean production. Welles, who is having an extramarital affair with the leading actress while his wife is pregnant, couples Richard with production assistant Sonja Jones to rehearse. Welles decides the entire production crew would benefit from a coupling game, and Richard cheats to ensure he is paired with Sonja. After a night together, Richard declares his love for her but she later informs him that she is to spend the following night with Welles. He discovers that, to further her career, she had sex with Welles, who promised to introduce her to a theatre producer. Richard argues with Welles over the incident and is fired, only for Welles to apologise later and re-hire him. After a successful opening night, Richard learns that Welles' apology was only to ensure a successful night and that a new actor has been found to replace him. Richard tells his family that he quit because of poor pay; he returns to school and decides to pursue a career in writing rather than acting.
