Ishtar is a 1987 American adventure comedy film written and directed by Elaine May, and produced by Warren Beatty, who co-stars opposite Dustin Hoffman. The story revolves around Chuck Clarke and Lyle Rogers, a duo of talentless American songwriters who travel to a booking in Morocco and stumble into a four-party Cold War standoff.

This movie is famous for being terrible. It's literally the only thing I know about it.

    I wrote a paper in college about how ishtar was a more realistic movie than lawrence of arabia.

    I'm not interested in Ishtar, in the end, but I would be curious to know what you learned about Lawrence of Arabia. That's one of my favorite movies, but I couldn't say how historically accurate it is.

    Its been a long time but that was the main thing. The trek through the desert was not anything like portrayed. Its basically based on a true story but everything is altered to make him out to be some sort of superhero and minimized the assistance he got.

    The movie has a couple good bits, it's only real crime is being a little boring. It's definitely overblown in it's legend of being bad, Biodome for instance made me viscerally angry in a way this movie never could.
