A group of self-absorbed actors set out to make the most expensive war film ever. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they encounter real bad guys.

  • a.k.a. Tropic Thunder - Hol Dir die volle Dröhnung! TV title

Regisseur Cockburn hat sich für seinen neuesten Film, das teuerste Vietnam-Drama aller Zeiten, die bestbezahlten Schauspieler gesichert, u. a. den blasierten Superstar Speedman, den verweichlichten Komiker Portnoy und den Charakterstar Lazarus. Um nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen, will Cockburn den Film fortan im Guerilla-Stil mit versteckten Kameras drehen. Deshalb glaubt die Schauspieler-Gruppe auch dann noch, die Kameras würden laufen, als sie im Dschungel von Drogengangstern aufgespürt werden.

Tonnerre sous les tropiques

Retrouvez Ben Stiller, Jack Black et Robert Downey Jr. dans une comédie explosive ! Quand trois des plus grandes stars hollywoodiennes débarquent dans la jungle vietnamienne pour tourner un film de guerre, elles sont vite rattrapées par la réalité...

Italy Italian (Italiano)

Tre stelle vanagloriose e capricciose dello star system hollywoodiano sono costrette a convivere dentro lo stesso film: un war movie ad alto budget ambientato nel sud-est asiatico. Tugg Speedman è una tronfia superstar di action movie che sogna gloria e Oscar, Kirk Lazarus è un attore drammatico e pluripremiato col vizio del metodo e dell'immedesimazione estrema, Jeff Portnoy è il divo grasso e cocainomane della saga comica "The Fatties". Decisi a correggere i loro vizi e a non tollerare oltre bizze e stravaganze, il regista del kolossal bellico e il sedicente scrittore del best seller che lo ha ispirato li precipitano dentro una guerra reale e una jungla autenticamente selvaggia. Occupati a bisticciare e a rinfacciarsi le rispettive carriere, procederanno ignari del pericolo imminente. Venire alle armi con un vero e sbraitante gruppo di guerriglieri asiatici li sveglierà finalmente dal sogno della finzione.
