Philip Glass, a grisly taxi driver and former composer from New York City, uncovers a massive conspiracy that extends beyond the mayor and to the president. In order to prevent a nuclear detonation from destroying a housing development in the heart of the city, Glass risks his life and reputation. His quest to blow the lid on the conspiracy spans exotic locales such as San Onofre State Beach and Interstate 10. Lightsaber and Gerbil in hand, he goes out to kill the multitudes. The film ends with the now infamous "Bratwurst" scene, where Glass grabs a hunk of German sausage sitting on a windowsill, looks directly at the camera (breaking down the "4th wall"), and whispers: "Welcome to Guam."
