Comedy directed by Jonathan Lynn and starring Steve Martin and Phil Hartman. There is an enclave of the US military base Fort Baxter that is forever Las Vegas, with Sgt. Ernie Bilko (Martin) presiding over a ragbag troop of soldiers more adept at loading dice than guns. The hard-line Major Thorn (Hartman) has had run-ins with Bilko before, and when he takes charge of the camp he is determined to put an end to the inveterate gambler's extracurricular scams.
