The Director steps on a old Land Mine and blows to pieces. The actors think it is a motivational techinque. When they firgue it out the Special effects man on the film and the man who wrote the book the movie is based on has been captured. Then the rest of the cast sees the director is really dead Stillers Character still thinks it is a movie. He gets captured by Herion Runners. Has to act out one of his other movies and actually gets used to it. The others are desperate to get everyone back Stiller and the other 2. The Script was well written and the movie is very funny.
