Kitsch plays Lieutenant Alex Hopper, a reckless, directionless slacker who joins the Navy after a humiliating attempt to steal a chicken burrito for a girl (Brooklyn Decker). This opening sequence—the "burrito incident"—has become legendary in its own right. It is, by all accounts, the most jarring tonal shift in modern blockbuster history. One minute you are watching a romantic comedy about a man-child; the next, you are watching a naval officer sacrifice himself to save humanity.
The story begins with John Hiller (Liam Neeson), a retired Navy Rear Admiral who is recalled to active duty to prepare for a massive fleet exercise.
