Colin Firth plays Erwin Sanchez Chessington, a Major of Mexican family origin, in the British Army.
It is winter 1945 and Major Chessington is to lead a small team of SAS commandos into the Darien Gap, Colombia, to seek out and destroy the rumoured last unit of the Waffen SS.
Jessica Alba plays Dr Treeworthy a Biologist specialising in the area of synthetic cell duplication, who along with her colleague - Dr Erasmus Shawky (played by James Earl Jones) - are ordered to go on the mission by the UK Government, as it is believed that the surviving Nazis have in their possession one of Hitler's toenails and plan to create a clone of their Fuhrer from the toenail.
Samuel L Jackson's Waffen SS General, Max Von Pluto, having been given advance warning of the UK mission to destroy his unit of 20 men and either steal or destroy his research, is now in a race against time to recreate his Fuhrer and maybe a few hundred thousand soldiers - all from a toenail - and retake the world.
All doesn't go to plan for our intrepid SAS men, however.
During the pre-mission meal, Major Chessington manages to poison half the taskforce with his notorious mushroom risotto.
Despite this the taskforce land succusfully in Colombia, although the few that unfortunately had eaten the risotto a couple of nights before had now succuumbed to a little light death.
In the jungles of Colombia, Dr Treeworthy and Chessington come face to face with the terrifying yeti. They shoot it. The Loch Ness monster eats almost everyone in their party. They shoot it. Harold MacMillan appears - they shoot him.
Eventually they reach the lair of Von Pluto, only to realise they are too late.
Von Pluto has managed to create a new Fuhrer, albeit one that is 7ft tall, totally covered in hair and with one massive eye in the centre of its head. Much evil laughter fills the jungle air.
In a final twist, the new Fuhrer kills Chessington with a smoked sausage then kidnaps Dr Treeworthy.
With one final burst of evil laughter Von Pluto's hair explodes - killing Von Pluto and all his men.
But from within the lair rises a massive armour-plated flying saucer.
Inside the grunts of Dr Treeworthy are heard as she is subjected to the motherlode of all bummings by the mutant hairy cyclops Hitler.
The closing scene sees the spacecraft leaving the Earth's atmosphere, still to the soundtrack of Dr Treeworthy's bumming.
The camera pans out to reveal many swastika-laden spacecraft heading towards Mars from Earth and the Moon.
The sound of space is filled with many multiple bummings emanating from the spaceships.
