Plot

In the high-octane world of political satire, "Mr. Freedom" reigns as a jingoistic superhero, his patriotic fervor manifested through unorthodox methods. This all-American champion fiercely advocates for God, his homeland, and the imperialistic cause, resorting to violence and intimidation to silence any dissenting voices. His zealous crusade takes a dramatic turn when he hears of France's impending doom at the hands of the "Commies." With his unwavering resolve and characteristic bravado, Mr. Freedom leaps across the Atlantic, ready to liberate France from its perceived threats. However, the chilly reception he encounters is far from the fanfare he anticipated. Faced with this unexpected hostility, his hope of swaying France from the Red Scare dwindles. Undeterred, his mission morphs into a desperate rescue operation. If he can't win them over, he'll salvage what he can. As the tension escalates, Mr. Freedom contemplates a drastic decision that may change the face of France forever. The film offers an audacious exploration of his latest assignment, a thrilling ride filled with dark humor and biting commentary. Will Mr. Freedom triumph, or will his fiery patriotism consume everything in its path?
