Genre: Action, Comedy, Buddies, Drugs, Spy, Military, Culture Clash, Scams And Cons

Tagline: The Few. The Proud. The Totally Insane.

Plot: Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. are two renegade pilots ensnared in the madness of covert operations over Laos during the Vietnam conflict. They lead the crew of Air America, a not-so-secret airline that drops everything from live pigs to opium over villages throughout the Vietnam countryside. Join Mel, Robert and the crazy crew of wartime flyers in the funniest action-comedy since 'Lethal Weapon 2' and 'Good Morning, Vietnam'!

Based on actual events, this satiric drama looks at the United States' use of illegal drug money to help finance the Vietman War.

"Air America" is the name of an airline allegedly purchased by the CIA solely for purposes of opium and heroin smuggling. One pilot (Gibson) believes in his mission; the other (Downey) would like to do the whole program in; and the retired General who heads the operation will do anything to protect it.
