 In the year 1951, Eddie Mannix played by Josh Brolin is the head of physical production at Capitol Pictures and also helps to keep the scandalous behavior of its stars out of the press. After swimming actress Dee Anna played by Scarlett Johansson gets pregnant he advises her to give up the baby for foster care and later adopting the baby without revealing her identity. He often has to fend off inquiries from Thora and Thessaly Thacker (both played by Tilda Swinton), twin sisters and rival gossip columnists.
The studio is in to production of its major blockbuster Hail, Caesar!, an epic set in ancient Rome and starring Baird Whitlock played by George Clooney. During production Whitlock is abducted after taking a drink drugged by one of the extras cast. A ransom note soon arrives, written by a group calling itself "The Future" demanding $100,000. Mannix arranges to get the money from the studio's Accounting Department, as "petty cash." Whitlock awakens in a beach house and finds his way into a meeting of The Future. The members, who introduce themselves as mostly writers in the motion picture industry, explain their doctrine to him and begin to win him over to their cause. 
Meanwhile, the only person Mannix tells about this is film star Hobie Doyle played by Alden Ehrenreich.
 Doyle is at a night club when he spots the briefcase containing the ransom money across the room, recognizing it as he had lent Mannix his belt to keep it closed. It is being carried by Burt Gurney played by Channing Tatum who is also a star of a sailor comedy film depicted earlier in an elaborate dancing scene.
Doyle follows Gurney to the beach house in but, after walking in the front door, finds only Whitlock inside. The rest of The Future's members have rowed a boat containing Gurney offshore so that he can join a soviet submarine and defect to Russia. Doyle takes Whitlock back to the studio just before the police arrive at the beach house to arrest the group.
Whitlock tries to explain his new-found Communist leanings to Mannix but he orders him to finish his role in Hail, Caesar!
DeeAnna marries Joseph Silverman played by Jonah hill, a surety agent who had agreed to take her baby into foster care.

In one sentence I would say,it is not as interesting as it may seem to be. Doesn't live up to expectation at all. However if you still feel compelled to see it,you can download it from mp4hd movies  here .  You can see the trailer below. Thanks
