En misslyckad boliviansk presidentkandidat tar ett amerikanskt team till hjälp, lett av "Calamity" Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), en illa tilltygad men briljant strateg. Hennes värsta fiende, den förhatlige Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), arbetar åt den andra kandidaten. Kampen mellan de båda sidorna blir såväl hård som smutsig. I rollistan syns även Anthony Mackie.
