After the president dies from overindulging in the local food and drink called "Puma" The actor is persuasively recruited to keep the country stable.
Will he survive being their puppet leader or does he with the help of the leaders' estranged girlfriend (Sonia Braga Brazilian actress) gain a social conscience?
Take the time to look at the list of actors in the movie as even though a hand full takes the show, there are many major (and minor) popular actors in this movie. Just a few are: Dana Delany as Becky in "Housesitter" (1992).
Richard Dreyfuss as Roy Neary in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977).
Raul Julia as Archbishop Oscar Romero in "Romero" (English Version) (1989).
Jonathan Winters, as Whoppa Chopper Pilot/Ohio Cop with Bullhorn/Jeb in Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000).
There is some Social redeeming value in this movie and a lot of one-liners.
