Resumen: Tras ser pillado in fraganti en una situación escandalosa unos días antes de su reelección, el presidente de los Estados Unidos decide inventarse un conflicto que desvíe la atención de la prensa de su affaire. Uno de sus consejeros se pone en contacto con un productor de Hollywood para crear una cortina de humo: una guerra en Albania a la que el presidente pueda poner fin heroicamente ante las cámaras de televisión.
