When a puppeteer with a dark side moonlights (or rather sunlights) in the business world it turns out the business world is not as dull as he had expected. While working on the green-lit, low-ceilinged 7 1/2-th floor of an office building, Craig (John Cusack) finds a small portal, hidden behind a filing cabinet, that leads into the head of John Malkovich (himself). After 15 minutes of allowing him to lurk in Malkovich's mundane routines, the wormhole jettisons the scruffy, peevish Craig out beside the New Jersey Turnpike. Soon Malkovich haunting becomes an obsession for him, his sexy coworker Maxine (Catherine Keener) and his weird, frumpy wife Lotte (Cameron Diaz), to the point where they begin to make life decisions based on their time in someone else's life.
