Bill Murray has joined the Army, and the Army will never be the same! When John Winger loses his job, his car, his apartment and his grilfriend -all in one day - he decides he has only one option: volunteer for the army. And he talks his friend Russell into enlising with him. Where else, they figure, can they help save the world for democracy....and meet girls! John and Russell find basic training a snap: they are arrested twice, have endless run-ins with their drill sergeant and get into a big mess at a female mud wrestling match. They even steal a top secret government vehicle to take some gorgeous female Mps on a date, and wind up behind the iron curtain. Stripes is outrageous fun!, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis star as a pair of slackers who join the US Army on a whim.
