In the year 2008, U.S. President Emerson (Kevin Pollak), who took office after the death of the elected president, is now running for his own term as president. He and his staff get snowed in at a small diner in Colorado. That's a good time for Saddam Hussein's son, now running Iraq, to invade Kuwait and kill hundreds of members of the American peacekeeping force. The President warns that he will nuke Iraq if they don't retreat, and Hussein counters with his own threats. So, Emerson asks the people in the diner what to do. Made in 1998 but sat on the shelf until the 2000 release.
