Chicago, 1934. The Century of Progress.

A man invents a machine that will run on water. But sinister and shadowy forces are out to take it from him...

The Water Engine is one of Mamet’s best early works; a terrific thriller which evokes the spirit and feel of the classic radio dramas of the 1930’s with live sound effects and an outstanding ensemble cast.
