Ishtar
Telling the truth can be dangerous business.
Two terrible lounge singers get booked to play a gig in a Moroccan hotel but somehow become pawns in an international power play between the CIA, the Emir of Ishtar, and the rebels trying to overthrow his regime.
Top Cast
An empty theater. Great seats, though.
Be the first to say how it hit you. A few taps, no typing.
