Hard-luck cabbie John Winger, directionless after being fired and dumped by his girlfriend, enlists in the U.S. Army with his close friend Russell Ziskey. Despite a barely satisfactory showing in basic training, the irreverent Winger becomes the figurehead for a ragtag band of misfits. His hijinks then threaten to cause an international scandal when he inadvertently commandeers a military assault vehicle behind enemy lines.
