Vietnam veteran 'Four Leaf' Tayback's memoir, Tropic Thunder, is being made into a film, but Director Damien Cockburn can’t control the cast of prima donnas. Behind schedule and over budget, Cockburn is ordered by a studio executive to get filming back on track, or risk its cancellation. On Tayback's advice, Cockburn drops the actors into the middle of the jungle to film the remaining scenes but, unbeknownst to the actors and production, the group have been dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, the home of heroin-producing gangs.

- 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.

Un casting d'enfer pour un voyage... au bout de l'enfer ! En tête d'affiche : Tugg Speedman, la star du film d'action, en chute libre depuis ses trois derniers navets. À ses côtés : Jeff Portnoy, spécialiste des comédies (très) bas de gamme, avide de prouver ses qualités de comédien ; Kirk Lazarus, acteur "Méthode" multi-recompensé et 100 % givré ; Chino, superstar pop et fan d'Al Pacino ; et Kevin Sandusky, le fringant petit jeune tout heureux de faire partie de la bande. Cinq egos surdimensionnés au service du "plus grand film de guerre de tous les temps". Sur le papier, ça se tient (ou presque), mais sur le tournage tout dérape : les caprices des stars et l'incapacité du réalisateur, Damien Cockburn, font grimper les frais à une allure vertigineuse, au point que le studio décide de tout arrêter... C'est alors que Damien a l'idée "géniale" d'entraîner sa petite troupe au cœur du Triangle d'Or pour une expérience de "cinéma-vérité" d'un genre inédit. Mortel...
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 gli sveglierà finalmente dal sogno della finzione.
