“The story of a man who wanted to keep the world safe for democracy...and meet girls.”
Hard-luck cabbie John Winger, directionless after being fired from his job and dumped by his girlfriend, enlists in the U.S. Army with his close pal, Russell Ziskey. After his barely satisfactory performance in basic training, the irreverent Winger emerges as the figurehead for a ragtag band of misfits. However, his hijinks threaten to cause an international scandal when he inadvertently commandeers a military assault vehicle behind enemy lines.
This is a riotous, anti-authoritarian romp that feels like a boisterous weekend with your most irresponsible pals. Expect a steady stream of irreverent humor, slapstick antics, and a surprisingly warm core of camaraderie. It's pure 80s comedic energy, perfect for unwinding and laughing out loud.
