Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for The Hangover filmmaker Todd Phillips’ comedic drama War Dogs. Previously titled Arms and the Dudes, the film is based on a true story and stars Jonah Hill and Miles Teller as two ambitious young men who become weapons traders for the U.S. government, landing multimillion-dollar arms contracts and living the high life before everything comes crashing down.

If you wanted a movie that feels like a spiritual successor to Michael Bay's Pain & Gain or a companion film to Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall StreetWar Dogs might just be it. This trailer teases a story that's sure to be frustrating to folks who play things by the book, exciting to those whose ambitions outpace their means, and unbelievable to just about everyone else. The craziest part of the whole thing is that, unlike The Hangover series, this story is rooted in reality.
