Film Synopsis
When we first met them in 2001, Eric and Ramzy were working as window cleaners
at Paris's Montparnasse Tower when they got themselves caught up in a fantastic
adventure involving trigger-happy hoodlums. You'd never guess it, but
twenty years before this these two supposed numbskulls were two of the most
highly rated pilots in the French military. Back in October 1981, Ernest
Krakenkrick and Bachir Bouzouk (as they were then known) were training to
be France's first astronauts when disaster struck. Owing to an unfortunate
mishap with a centrifuge during a test exercise, both men suffered severe
brain damage which robbed them of their memory and their intellectual ability.
Reduced to virtual idiots, the two men were soon demobbed from the military
and found more menial work as baggage handlers at Aurly-Ouest Airport.
Coincidentally, this was the moment at which a ruthless group of terrorists
known as Les Moustachious chose to strike against the airport, grabbing a
hostage and then taking over the control tower. As the Minister of
the Interior tries to negotiate a resolution to this crisis, Ernest and Bachir
soon realise that it is up to them to take on the terrorists single-handedly
and prevent a catastrophe. What they lack in intelligence they more
than make up for in courage. Unfortunately, now that their combined
IQ is down to single digits, that's probably not such a proud boast...
