Synopsis

John Travolta and Arye Gross star as two hip but down-on-their-luck New Yorkers who think they're relocating to a small town in Nebraska to open a nightclub. What they don't know is that they've been abducted by a KGB operative (Charles Martin Smith) to the Soviet Union, where they'll unwittingly serve as "experts" on all things in America. The town, created expressly for KGB spies-in-training, includes seductive agent Kelly Preston, who gets into a real undercover situation with Travolta. Eventually, the two Yanks realize they've been duped and devise a spectacular escape.
