The story so far
Everything you need before watchingTwo former presidents board a helicopter expecting a routine flight to Camp David, but the journey keeps stretching on. When the pilot reveals that Camp David was never in his orders, they realize they are being taken somewhere remote. Their attempts to regain control turn into a comic clash of military formality, threats, profanity, and partisan sarcasm, ending with an unexpectedly practical plan.
