The Interview

R
Genre: Comedy
In Theaters:

The film opens with an assembly of North Koreans. A young girl sings an anthem defaming the United States and wishing ill on Americans. A nuclear test missile then launches behind the assembly building and the scene cuts into a collage of American news broadcasts about the hostility of North Korea. Dave Skylark, host of the talk show Skylark Tonight, interviews Eminem in his latest episode. Eminem admits on camera that he is a homosexual, and this is promoted by Dave and his crew as sensational, leading to increased viewer activity. After Dave and his crew celebrate their thousandth episode, they discover that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a fan of Skylark Tonight, prompting the show's producer Aaron Rapoport to arrange an interview. Aaron travels to rural China to receive instructions from Sook Yung Park, a North Korean propagandist, and Dave accepts the task of interviewing Kim. CIA Agent Lacey arrives at the boys' apartment, and proposes that Dave and Aaron assassinate Kim using a transdermal strip that will expose Kim to ricin via handshake, facilitating a coup d'état; they reluctantly agree. Upon their arrival in North Korea, one of Kim's bodyguards discovers the ricin strip and chews it, believing it to be gum. Lacey airdrops two more strips from an UAV and Aaron smuggles them into the palace. Dave spends the day with Kim, playing basketball and partying. Kim persuades Dave that he is misunderstood, and they become friends. While driving a tank, Dave discovers that Kim loves the song "Firework" by Katy Perry. At dinner, the bodyguard exposed to ricin has a seizure and inadvertently kills Kim's other bodyguard before dying. Dave feels guilty as he believes that Kim is in fact a misunderstood good person and that North Korea is well-maintained. The next morning, he discards one of the ricin strips, and then thwarts Aaron's attempt to poison Kim with the second, final strip. After a dinner mourning the death of Kim's bodyguard, Dave discovers Kim's malicious character and that the nearby grocery store is merely a façade. Aaron and Sook confess their attraction to each other; Sook reveals that she despises Kim and apologizes for defending the regime. Dave, Aaron, and Sook form a plan to break Kim's cult of personality by causing him to cry on air. During the internationally televised interview with Kim, Dave addresses increasingly sensitive topics and challenges Kim's need for his father's approval. Kim retaliates and appears to have overturned the conversation, but when Dave sings "Firework", Kim cries uncontrollably and soils himself, ruining his reputation. Sook and Aaron seize control of the broadcasting center and fend off guards trying to halt the broadcast. Kim shoots Dave, who survives due to a bulletproof vest under his shirt. Dave, Aaron, and Sook regroup and escape the presidential palace, hijacking Kim's tank in order to get to their pickup point. Kim boards a helicopter and pursues Dave, Aaron, and Sook with the military. He orders that North Korea's nuclear missiles are prepared for launch, but before he can issue the command, Dave destroys the helicopter from the tank, killing Kim. Sook guides Dave and Aaron to an escape route, and they are rescued by SEAL Team Six members disguised as North Korean troops. Back in the US, Dave writes a book about his experience, and North Korea moves toward becoming a democracy with Sook as interim president. As Dave reads an excerpt from the last page of his book on television, Aaron talks to Sook in a Skype video call. Aaron tells Sook that Dave and he named their puppy Kim Jong-un, after the North Korean leader who gifted it. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
