The film centers on five liberal graduate school students in Iowa, Jude (played by Cameron Diaz), Pete (played by Ron Eldard), Paulie (played by Annabeth Gish), Marc (played by Jonathan Penner), and Luke (played by Courtney B. Vance), who live together in a rustic home. The group has dinner with Zack, played by Bill Paxton, a racist, anti-Semitic Desert Storm veteran who supports Nazism. Haunted by his possible post traumatic stress disorder, and after a tense political debate that includes Zack making extraordinary statements such as “Adolf Hitler had the right idea” and “The Holocaust can’t be proven,” the evening takes a turn for the worse, with Zack threatening the group and breaking Pete’s arm as he put a knife to his throat. Marc kills Zack by stabbing him in the back, and the group decide to cover up the murder. After a long discussion led by Luke, the students decide to continue killing people with conservative views, in order to make the world a better place.

The students lay down a procedure for each murder. The guest will be given every opportunity to change their mind and recant their beliefs. If the guests fail to change their ways, the group offers them poisoned wine from a blue decanter and raises a toast. The bodies are buried in the group’s vegetable garden. Guests include a homophobic reverend (played by Charles Durning), a misogynistic chauvinist (played by Mark Harmon), Neo-Nazi (played by Rick Lawrence), an anti-environmentalist (played by Jason Alexander), a Pro-life extremist (played by Rachel Chagall), a book censorship advocate (played by Pamela Gien), a hobo assailant (played by Nicholas Sadler), and opponents of gay rights, all of whom are murdered. After ten murders, misgivings begin to surface within the group as a couple of them grow indecisive regarding the justification of their actions. Infighting and guilt compel Jude, Pete, Marc, and Paulie, in an almost unanimous decision with only the dissent of Luke, to spare a teenage opponent of mandatory sex education (Bryn Erin). Read more
