In the interview, Lynton discussed how the studio had not "given in" or "backed down" to the threats and mentioned the potential future release of the controversial film. He also expressed disappointment in the president's statements.

As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
