Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman pool their musical talents and hit the high road to laughter in the outrageous comedy, Ishtar. Searching for success in the "Big Apple", Chuck Clarke (Hoffman) and Lyle Rogers (Beatty) stumble across down-and-out agent Marty Freed (Jack Weston). Once Freed hears a few of their original songs, like "Dangerous Business" and "Wardrobe Of Love", he is sure of one thing. These struggling songwriters should go far away - as far away as possible. So they are swept off to magical Morocco - with a short layover in the political powderkeg of ISHTAR. But, ISHTAR turn out to be more than a layover when the two suddenly find themselves caught in a crossfire between Shirra (Isabelle Adjani), a beautiful left-wing revolutionary, and Jim Harrison (Charles Grodin) an overzealous CIA agent. Now, suddenly the fate of the entire Middle East is in the hands of two men who can't even carry a tune. Pursued by spies of every stripe, adored by legions of deliriously undiscriminating fans, Rogers and Clarke ride a multi-national hit list straight to the top of the charts in the comic misadventure ISHTAR.
