War Inc. is set in the future, when the fictional desert country of Turagistan is torn by a riot after a private corporation, Tamerlane, owned by the former Vice President of the United States (Dan Aykroyd), has taken over the whole state. Brand Hauser (John Cusack), a hit man who suppresses his emotions by gobbling down hot sauce, is hired by the corporation's head to kill the CEO of their competitors. To do this, he has to have a cover-up which is in the form of a gala wedding by the outrageous Central Asian Superstar Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff). Everything changes when the ruthless killer finds himself head-over-heels in love with a sexy reporter (Marisa Tomei).
