The Experts
Two abducted Americans are going to tell the Russians everything they know. Poor Russia.
Directed by Dave Thomas
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A lighthearted Cold War comedy built on mistaken identity and fish-out-of-water absurdity, where two bumbling Americans unknowingly teach Soviet spies about American cool.
Travis and Wendell are two down-on-their-luck New Yorkers who think they're relocating to a small town in Nebraska to open a nightclub. What they don't know is they've actually been abducted by a KGB operative and flown to the Soviet Union, where they'll unwittingly serve as "experts" on all things cool in America. The town, created expressly for KGB spies-in-training, is meant to serve as a training ground for Soviet agents. What can these two hapless Americans possibly teach the Soviet spies, and will they ever learn they are not actually in Nebraska?
