Synopsis

Three bumbling Army reservists are mistakenly sent to Mexico instead of Iraq after their transport goes off course. Believing they have arrived in a war zone, the inept trio take up arms and attempt to defend a besieged village from bandits. Their improvised military mission turns into a broad farce involving mistaken identities, culture clashes, and misguided heroics.
