Its used to describe an improbable event bringing a solution to a seemingly impossible problem. The "deus ex machina" in this film takes place when Peter bets on Average Joes to win the final tournament by using the bribe money White paid him, then using his winnings from the bet to buy the majority stocks of Globo-Gym, thereby becoming the owner of both Average Joes and Globo-Gym.
