Down on his luck after losing his job and his girlfriend on the same day, Larry decides to join his neighbor, Bill and his combat-happy buddy, Everett for a relaxing weekend of drinking and target practice. But when the three hapless guys are mistaken for Army Reservists they are loaded onto an army plane headed for Fallujay, Iraq. The threesome is mistakenly ejected in a Humvee somewhere over Mexico. Convinced they are actually in the Middle East, the clueless wannabe soldiers save a rural village from a siege of bandits and become local heroes.
