Synopsis:

War is treated as a futuristic sporting event as two sides gather for a conflict monitored by officials. The 'games' are held in a manner in which viewers can tune in as if it were a popular television show. The movie attempts to illustrate the futility of war and lampoons political leaders as they go through a series of machinations and cheer the troops on to victory.

Some time in the future, East and West have stopped maintaining standing armies and nuclear weapons. Instead, to settle their differences they pit different teams of crack combat specialists against each other.
