For the last 20 years, notorious activists the Yes Men have staged
outrageous and hilarious hoaxes to draw international attention to
corporate crimes against humanity and the environment. Armed with nothing
but thrift-store suits and a lack of shame, these iconoclastic
revolutionaries lie their way into business events and government
functions to expose the dangers of letting capitalism run our world.

In their third cinematic outing (after The Yes Men and The Yes Men Fix the
World), they are now well into their 40s, and their mid-life crises are
threatening to drive them out of activism forever – even as they prepare
to take on the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced: climate change.

More than the first two films, The Yes Men Are Revolting is as much a
character study as it is an entertaining depiction of their latest
interventions. Revealing the real people behind the ruses, at its heart
lies a hopeful message about fighting for change.
