Una pattuglia di tre soldati decide di mettere le mani su un tesoro ben nascosto dagli iracheni. Si tratta del mitico oro che Saddam Hussein ha sottratto al Kuwait e che ora è nascosto in chissà quale angolo del paese. L'affannosa caccia consente loro di scoprire i lati meno gloriosi dell'operazione "Tempesta nel deserto".
