Plots(1)
Black comedy about a small group of flyers in the Mediterranean in 1944. Capt. Yossarian (Alan Arkin) tries to escape the travesties of World War II by convincing his Air Force commanders that he's crazy. Hilarity ensues, but so does reality as he watches his close friends, played by Martin Sheen and Art Garfunkel, die in the ridiculousness of war. (official distributor synopsis)
