Allie Fox (Ford) è un operaio specializzato che decide di andarsene dagli Stati Uniti, di cui non sopporta più il degrado. Si trasferisce con la famiglia sulla Costa delle Zanzare, in Guatemala, in un villaggio abbandonato. Si butta poi nell'impresa di costruire un'enorme quanto inutile macchina per il ghiaccio, che deve poi distruggere per uccidere tre terroristi, provocando però un grave inquinamento.
