War, Inc. is a 2008 American political action comedy film directed by Joshua Seftel and starring John Cusack and Hilary Duff.
He turns on his screen to receive a video call from the former Vice President who gives him his next mission: to terminate Omar Sharif, the CEO of the oil company Ugigas in Ugigistan.
He also tells Hauser that his cover will be a trade show host, working with Tamerlane, a huge corporation that specializes in advertising.
He must produce a trade show and a gala wedding as a finale, and still manage to kill Omar Sharif before he makes his plane back to Ugigistan.
The Viceroy (who cannot be seen, but only heard with an altered voice) informs Hauser that the grand finale of the Trade Show he's supposed to prepare will be a wedding for Yonica Babyyeah, an oversexed, Central Asian pop star.
Meanwhile, Natalie buys the cover for a pornographic video that the videomakers were going to shoot on Yonica's wedding night, and leaks it to the American press.
Six hours before the wedding, Hauser receives a ransom video from what appears to be a gang of terrorists, who have taken Natalie hostage.
Hauser travels to a nearby city named Fallaf, saves Natalie, and makes it to Room 1101, where he had planned to meet and kill Sharif.
Hauser has a change of heart and lets Sharif live, and in return is informed "the ultimate chicken-hawk is nearby".
Realizing what this means Hauser goes to the Viceroy's secret location, and breaks down the glass to reveal the man behind the screen.
He rushes to tell Yonica at the wedding, and arrives there right before Walken destroys the building, accidentally killing himself in the process.
The Vice President reveals his next plan to attack neighboring Ugigistan, blaming them for the bombing of the Emerald city, and terrorist incidents in Turaqistan.

[8] Philip Marchand of the Toronto Star is critical of the crude satire of the film, unimpressed by Dan Aykroyd as a Dick Cheney-like figure we see delivering a televised rant while sitting on the toilet.
[9] Reviewer Reyhan Harmanci complained that the film tried so hard to be clever but treated the viewer like an idiot.
It closed on August 7, 2008, without a wide release, grossing only $580,862 domestically in fewer than 40 theaters across the United States and Canada.
