Amblin Entertainment released The Money Pit to theaters on March 26, 1986. Richard Benjamin directs the film which stars Tom Hanks, Shelley Long, and Alexander Godunov. The Money Pit Movie Summary Walter Fielding is a lawyer. His dad used to be his law partner. But his dad stole all of their clients’ money and fled south of the border. Walter’s girlfriend, Anna Crowley is a classical musician and divorcee of the rich and well-respected symphony maestro Max. When Max returns to New York early, Walter and Anna have to find a new New York apartment, for which they have neither the time nor the money. Walter’s friend and fat realtor, between heart attacks, manages to find them a sweet deal on a house. The owner needs money fast, for the blood-sucking lawyers, and demands an offer quickly. She even throws in her old car to sweeten the pot. Walter and Anna bite and buy themselves a big house in the country. The house falls apart immediately. First the stairs, the water, the electricity, then front door goes, and finally the dumbwaiter and the chimney all fail. The couple call in some contractors to get things fixed. The honest contractors cost four times as much as the crooked ones and take longer.
