Tropic Thunder is a 2008 American action satire comedy film produced and directed by Ben Stiller, and starring Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr.. The main plot revolves around a group of three prima donna actors (portrayed by Stiller, Black, and Downey) who are making a Vietnam War film. When their frustrated writer and director decide to drop them in the middle of a jungle, they are forced to portray their roles without the comforts of a film set and rely on their acting skills in order to survive the real action and danger. Written by Stiller, Justin Theroux, and Etan Cohen, the film was produced by Red Hour Films and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures through Paramount Pictures.
