Synopsis
The Yes Men follows a small group of prankster-activists as they
gain worldwide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on TV
and at business conferences around the world.
The bizarre story begins with Andy and Mike setting up a website
that mimics the World Trade Organization. When their satire website is mistaken
for the real thing, Andy and Mike play along with the ruse and soon find
themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives.
Delighted to speak as the organization they oppose, Andy and Mike
don thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly
comic satires featuring the worst aspects of global free trade.
The results of their appearances are shocking and unexpected, and by the end of the movie Mike and Andy radically change their approach to astounding results.
