What is the movie about?
Tropic Thunder follows a group of pampered, self-absorbed actors trying to shoot an expensive war film. When the frustrated director leaves them deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia to force 'real' acting, they unwittingly stumble into the territory of a dangerous drug cartel. What follows is a hilarious struggle for survival, with the actors believing for a long time that the cameras are still rolling.
