The 2008 comedy film Tropic Thunder features a group of self-involved actors who are making a movie about the Vietnam War. When the director loses patience with their behavior on the set, he sends them into a real war zone. The trailer introduces the film's lead characters: "The Action Guy" (Ben Stiller), "The Award Winner" (Robert Downey Jr.) and "The Comedian" (Jack Black). None of the actors seem to be aware that they are actually behind real enemy lines.
