Head Office is a 1985 American satirical black comedy film, produced by HBO Pictures in association with Silver Screen Partners.
It stars Judge Reinhold, Eddie Albert, Lori-Nan Engler, Jane Seymour, Richard Masur, Michael O'Donoghue, Ron Frazier, and Merritt Butrick and was directed and written by Ken Finkleman.
The young man earns a reputation for honesty by leaking information about the company's actual motivations to the press.
Jack Issel Jr. is a natural-born slacker who has just graduated from business school and joined I.N.C., a large American corporation based in Chicago.
Within a week of his employment, the further promoted Jack, with Max in tow, travel upstate to the town of Allenville to give a press conference on the closing of the textile plant where Rachael has organised a huge protest of thousands of workers and townspeople protesting the closing of the plant.
The mob of townspeople attack and destroy Jack and Max's limousine, much to the chagrin of the company limo driver, Sal.
The final scene has Jack, now the new chairman of the board at I.N.C., travelling in Helmes' helicopter, to the offices with Sal as his pilot.
Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote in her review: "Head Office, which opened yesterday at the UA Twin and other theaters, has a droll tone that sets it well above comedy's lowest common denominator.
Ken Finkleman, the film's writer and director, has assembled an interesting cast and struck a note that might have been timely; though corporate satire has been out of vogue for a while, it's ready for a revival.
