Based on the novel "No One Thinks of Greenland" by John Griesemer, GUY X is a darkly satirical anti-war movie in the spirit of "M*A*S*H" and "Catch-22".

Directed by Saul Metzstein (Late Night Shopping), the film stars Jason Biggs (star of the American Pie movies), Natascha McElhone (Ladies In Lavender; Solaris), Jeremy Northam (The Singing Detective; Gosford Park) and Michael Ironside (The Machinist; Maximum Velocity).

Having enlisted in the US military in order to escape a prison sentence for burglary, Rudy Spruance (Jason Biggs) becomes the unfortunate victim of a ‘minor clerical error.' Posted to serve on a base in Hawaii, Rudy instead finds himself being dropped off alone in the middle of the frozen wastes of Greenland. He later awakens in a military hospital that doesn't officially exist and where everybody thinks he is somebody else.

His fellow soldiers are a rag-tag bunch of misfits. There's Lavone (Sean Tucker), a wannabe beat poet, the sadistic Sergeant Genteen (Donny Falsetti), and Petri (Hilmir Snær Gunason), the supplier of all things contraband who thinks sci-fi movies are the pinnacle of art. And then there's the base's deranged commanding officer, Colonel Woolwrap (Jeremy Northam), who sees in Rudy a younger version of himself. The only problem is, Rudy isn't too comfortable under Woolwrap's or anyone else's tutelage. But then Rudy meets Sergeant Irene Teale (Natascha McElhone) – beautiful, intelligent and, most importantly, sane. Unfortunately, she's also Colonel Woolwrap's girlfriend.

As Rudy pursues the affections of Irene, he unwittingly uncovers the secret of The Wing: a hospice for American casualties from a reckless secret mission that took place during the Vietnam War. The patients remain unconscious, vegetative, and waiting to die when they will be erased from history… all except for Guy X (Michael Ironside).
