Travis and Wendell are two down-on-their-luck New Yorkers who think they're relocating to a small town in Nebraska to open a nightclub. What they don't know is they've actually been abducted by a KGB operative and flown to the Soviet Union, where they'll unwittingly serve as "experts" on all things cool in America. The town, created expressly for KGB spies-in-training, is meant to serve as a training ground for Soviet agents. What can these two hapless Americans possibly teach the Soviet spies, and will they ever learn they are not actually in Nebraska?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two hapless New Yorkers become unlikely cultural ambassadors in a Soviet fake-America, mining comedy from the collision between their street smarts and their captors' earnest espionage ambitions. It's a fish-out-of-water premise turned inside-out, played for laughs as much as absurdist thrills.
