In the midst of the Gulf War, soldiers are kidnapped and brainwashed for sinister purposes.
Intelligent remake of a classic, a joy to watch.
On renewed viewing: Nice-looking remake of a classic political satire updates the message and otherwise has its credentials in all departments, but the good work doesn't have the original's edge.
Maltin**1/2: "Remake of a genuinely great film puts an intriguing, modern spin on the depiction of backroom power brokers but lacks the chilling edge - and starkness - that marked the original."
