Stripes | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

BILL MURRAY has joined the Army, and the Army will never be the same! When John Winger (Murray) loses his job, his, car, his apartment and his girlfriend - all in one day - he decides he only has one option: volunteer for Uncle Sam. He talks his friend Russell into enlisting with him. Where else, they figure, can they help save the world for democracy... and meet girls! John and Russell find basic training a snap: they are arrested twice, have endless run-ins with their drill sergeant and get into a big mess at a female mud-wrestling match. They even steal a top-secret government vehicle to take some gorgeous female MPs on a date, and wind up behind the Iron Curtain. STRIPES is outrageous fun! And that's the fact, Jack!

Synopsis: Classic off-the-goof-o-meter comedy about two buddies who join the Army to escape their tanking lives. They land in an outfit of misfits overseen by a hardnosed sergeant on their way to borrowing a high-tech military vehicle and unwittingly defusing an international incident.
