Actor Nicolas Cage filed a $20 million lawsuit against his former business manager, accusing him of negligence and fraud that sent the star "down a path toward financial ruin."

Cage claimed that his recently-fired business manager had failed to pay taxes and made speculative and risky real estate investments. He's asking for $20 million in damages, saying that his reputation has been "irreparably tarnished."

The business manager plans to show the court the poster for National Treasure and then go home.
