Greatest war movie ever?

The film centers on a group of pompous actors making the most expensive Vietnam war movie ever made.Fed up with their self-involved cast, the film’s makers drop them into the jungle to take care of themselves, where they get caught up in a conflict they don’t realize is real.

The cast also includes Steve Coogan, Nick Nolte and cameos from Tom Cruise and Tobey Maguire.

The film, Stiller’s first as director since Zoolander, also sees his character adopt an Asian baby but worries “that all the good ones have gone”. Paramount is set to release “Tropic Thunder” in the US Aug. 15.
