Synopsis
Quatre soldats, Archi, un béret vert, Troy Barlow, un jeune idéaliste, Elgin et Conrad Vig, déçus et frustrés par l'aboutissement de la Guerre du Golfe, cette guerre high-tech aux allures de jeu vidéo, décident de prendre une petite revanche. Ils concluent qu'ils méritent bien une petite compensation et montent hâtivement une expédition secrète en vue de récupérer une partie des lingots volés par Saddam Hussein au Koweit. Au cours de leur étrange périple dans le désert irakien, les quatre aventuriers découvrent pour la première fois le vrai visage de la guerre.
