Tropic Thunder Pics

Ben Stiller's back in the director's chair for the first time since Zoolander. Tropic Thunder features the comedian as a Hollywood actor alongside Steve Coogan's filmmaker, who's desperate to shoot a war epic. Thanks to a series of freak occurences, the actors find themselves fighting in a war much like the one they're attempting to portray.

With a cast featuring Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr (the latter having been turned 'black'), not to mention Steve Coogan and Tom Cruise, Tropic Thunder is tipped as the comedy of the year.
