Wikipedia Plot

Lyle (Beatty) and Chuck (Hoffman) are poor-quality songwriters who dream of becoming a popular singing duo like Simon and Garfunkel. Their songs with titles like "THAT A LAWNMOWER CAN DO ALL THAT" and "The Echo Song" are performed badly, and are not liked by the audiences. Their agent, Marty (Weston) books them as lounge singers in a hotel in Morocco in North Africa, to entertain troops stationed there. They unwittingly become involved in plot to overthrow the Emir of the fictional neighboring country of Ishtar. A mysterious woman named Shirra (Adjani) has a map she needs to get to the leftist guerrillas opposing the government of Ishtar. Jim (Grodin) is a CIA agent who gets involved when Shirra contacts Lyle and Chuck, because he is attempting to prevent the overthrow.

Wikipedia Text

Ishtar is a 1987 American comedy film directed by Elaine May and starring Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman as "Rogers and Clarke" – a duo of incredibly untalented lounge singers who travel to Morocco looking for work, and stumble into a four-party Cold War standoff.
