Troma's War is a film that follows the story of a commercial airline flight that crashes on a tropical, apparently deserted Caribbean island. The morning after the crash, the sun shines over a beach, where gory dead bodies and plane wreckage are scattered everywhere. A groggy survivor wakes up and slowly realizes what happened.
Flashback to the scene just after the crash, with several people on fire running around and screaming. As the camera pans over the burning wreckage of the airplane, one hears the crying of a baby somewhere amid the flames. The few survivors all gather, surrounded by the charred bodies.
The survivors include a diverse group of individuals such as a black Catholic priest, a whiny mother, a one-year-old jingoistic baby girl, a handsome environmentalist, a blind young woman eager to fight with a gun in her hands, a chauvinistic heartthrob, a liberated woman who rejects male advances, a heroic gay flight attendant, a used car salesman who happens to be a Vietnam veteran, a charming man, a handicapped World War II veteran with a wooden arm, an oily Wall Street tycoon who happens to be a Vietnam hero, a punk rock band called the "Bearded Clams", an obese gourmet chef into junk food, some sexy young women, and a seventy-year-old housewife who ends up karate kicking and blowing away foes as anyone else.
The survivors flee into the jungle, where they are temporarily safe. However, they soon discover that the island is inhabited by mysterious looking soldiers on patrol. Mistaken for commandos by Neonazis and Cuban freedom fighters operating a terrorist training camp, the survivors become embroiled in a conspiracy that endangers not only the United States but the whole world.
The invasion plan involves "germ warfare" prepared by "Señor SIDA", a Cuban leader, and his SIDA's Task Force. The sleazy leader, covered with sores and popping boils, personally introduces one of the captured survivors to his technique of preparing the invasion force. Massive gun battles ensue between the three groups, resulting in the deaths of about three hundred fighters and only a few survivors of the flight crash escaping alive.
