Er entdeckt, dass das Projekt ein einziges Desaster ist. Die Entwicklung des Fahrzeugs dauerte 17 Jahre und verschlang 14 Milliarden Dollar, ohne dass das Pentagon einschritt. Burton ist entschlossen, die Missstände aufzudecken, doch General Partrige ist ebenso entschlossen, ihn aufzuhalten.
Bissige, mit einem Emmy ausgezeichnete Satire, die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruht.
Air Force Lt. Col. John Burton was assigned to evaluate the usefulness of the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, an Army troop carrier/scout vehicle that, in its final redesign, was effectively a deathtrap for its occupants. Burton keeps trying to execute a proper live-fire armor test on it but is constantly subverted by his temporary commanding officer, Army Maj. Gen. Partridge, in order to get it under construction and in the field.
