Un viaggio all’interno di Bangland, città situata in una distopica America, dove Steven Spielberg, eletto presidente, ha dichiarato guerra al Mahaba, uno stato africano. Parte così una propaganda del terrore, secondo la quale chiunque non sia bianco è un potenziale terrorista. «L’idea alla base della sceneggiatura è di affrontare tematiche attuali come politica, guerra, terrorismo, religione e mass-media attraverso un mix originale di satira, noir, commedia nera e thriller d’azione, in una storia corale in cui le vicende dei vari protagonisti sono importanti tanto quanto lo scenario socio-politico in cui si svolgono».
