The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid. They send an invasion force (in chain mail, armed with bows and arrows) to New York and they arrive during a nuclear drill that has cleared the streets.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie's plot centers entirely around a farcical war declaration between a tiny European duchy and the United States, triggered by economic necessity. There is no mention or indication that the events, character motivations, or setting are related to the Christmas season."
