Vietnam veteran'Four Leaf' Tayback's memoir, Tropic Thunder, will be forced into a film, however, Director Damien Cockburn can't control the throw of primadonnas. Underneath over budget and schedule, Cockburn is ordered with a studio executive for filming back track, or hazard its own cancellation. On the information of Tayback, the actors drop in to the center of the jungle into film the remaining scenes but, unbeknownst to production and the actors, the band have already now been dropped at the center of this Golden Triangle.
