Synopsis:

This comedy about the laid-back governor (Michael Caine) of 'Cascara,' a fictional British island somewhere in the Caribbean, and the international parade of characters who come through his territory is a parody of the recent invasions of Grenada and the Falkland Islands. Among the multinational characters are an American industrialist out to exploit the island's rich source of mineral water -- also the source of all the subsequent trouble on the island -- some inexplicable French-German visitors, a singing revolutionary with ties to Fidel Castro, and various parodies of Brit diplomats and politicians, Margaret Thatcher included. Both Michael Caine as the guv, and Leonard Rossiter as the stuffy Sir Malcolm hand in winning performances. Films with similar themes include Woody Allen's Bananas and Club Paradise, starring Robin Williams.

A tiny and impoverished Caribbean island is completely forgotten by it's British colonial masters until an abandoned oil well strikes mineral water. Suddenly the British, Americans, Cubans, French and an incompetent local rebel are struggling for control of the island.
