After heading deep into the jungles of Southeast Asia to film the most expensive war movie of all time, the film's self-absorbed stars, Tug Speedman (Ben Stiller), Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black) and Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), are abandoned by their frustrated director (Steve Coogan) and find themselves in a real war. Thinking that the gun fire and explosions are just part of the film, Speedman and company play along, eventually becoming the soldiers they are portraying in order to make it out alive. Directed by Ben Stiller. With Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel, Bill Hader and Nick Nolte. Categories: Action, Comedy, War. Year: 2008.
