Tropic Thunder (2008)

Actors in a war film end up battling for their lives in satirical comedy directed by Ben Stiller

On the set of an expensive war film, inexperienced director Damien struggles with his cast of self-absorbed actors. When a pyrotechnics set worth millions of dollars gets ruined, he’s given an ultimatum to control the actors or lose the film. Desperate, he decides to drop the four main actors into the middle of the jungle along with fake bomb explosions, to film them guerilla-style. But they’d inadvertently entered drug-gang territory, and soon ending up fighting for their lives, for real.
