With Sacha Baron Cohen's latest movie "The Dictator" set to brutally oppress movie theaters May 16, the opening scene from the film has been released like a grateful hostage onto the internet, so viewers can prepare for the cinematic regime to come.
In the film, Cohen plays Admiral General Aladeen, the thuggish despot of Wadiya. The scene, a spoof-newsreel, offers a primer on Aladeen, from his humble-but-hairy beginnings to his triumphant performance in his self-held version of the Olympic games — during which he appears to take the gold in the 100 meter dash and marksmanship simultaneously.
Check out "The Dictator"'s opening shots in the video.
