The state of Idaho takes on the U.S. government in this dark comedy about race relations, rebellion and the American Dream run amok. When he hears that a planeload of Pakistani refugee orphans is headed for his state, Idaho governor Beau Bridges makes a bold decision: close the borders. Washington is quick to respond: lift the blockade...or else. It’s a standoff, and soon the media vultures are all there to report—or misreport—the biggest news event of the century. With Dan Hedaya, James Earl Jones, Denis Leary, Elizabeth Pena and Ron Perlman. Directed by Joe Dante; written by Martyn Burke.
