Al Pacino was a supporting actor in the film, and he was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar award for his role of Richard Roma, the smooth talking salesman on a hot streak. He has also convinced one of his new clients, played by Jonathan Pryce, to sign an expensive real estate contract. He has pulled in most of the company's sales and is contemptuous of Dave Moss and his endless complaining. In the last thirty minutes of the film, the office has been robbed and miraculously, Levine has made a breakthrough and sold more than $80,000 worth of property.
Times are tough at Premiere Properties. It seems that the salesmen are not making the required number of sales, so the head office has sent one of their top men to give them all a motivational speech. Alec Baldwin's character, an intensely profane man named Blake, introduces them to a sales contest in which the prize for first place is a Cadillac. The prize for second place is a set of steak knives. The prize for third place is immediate dismissal from the company. Ed Harris, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Jack Lemmon and Kevin Spacey round out the all star cast. Hoping to salvage their jobs before the contest is over, they desperately try to cut corners and engage in activities that are less than ethical.

Time is also running out for Dave Moss and George Aaronow, played by Ed Harris and Alan Arkin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], respectively. They have less than impressive sales records and it's easy to see why Aaronow isn't doing so well. He is meek and doesn't have the confidence necessary to be a salesman. Moss decides that to get out of their unfortunate predicament they should steal the Glengarry leads and sell them to another high profile salesman known only as Jerry Graff [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who is never seen in person by the audience.
The police question each man and determine that is was not Moss or Aaronow that was responsible for the robbery. Kevin Spacey's character, John Williamson, discovers that it was Levine who stole the leads and sold them to Jerry Graff. In the final moments Levine offers to give Williamson a substantial cut of all his sales. As it turns out, Levine's last sale was bogus because his customers wrote a bad check. Williamson said, "They just like talking to salesmen." It's the end of the line for Levine, and the movie ends with him being called into Williamson's office by the police.
Jack Lemmon plays Sheldon "The Machine" Levine, a veteran salesman who is at the end of his rope, emotionally and financially. He pleads with the office manager played by Kevin Spacey to give him access to the new Glengarry prospects, but to no avail. Lemmon gives one of the best performances of his film career as a once successful salesman who has passed his prime, and is now in danger of losing his job. He makes sales calls at obscene hours of the night and even goes out to see a potential client [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but all of his leads are dead ends.
