## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

This was the CIA’s private airline, if by private you mean a rotating cast of lunatics with sky-high hair. A disgraced pilot gets drafted into a war by way of narco-charter flights and questionable life choices. The film’s idea of satire is a pilot who pilots while piloting a plane.

**Mood tags**: playful, raw, unhinged
