Tina Fey is a war correspondent who gets her "freak on" in the first trailer for "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," which also stars Margot Robbie, Billy Bob Thorton, Martin Freeman, Christopher Abbott, and Alfred Molina.

The journalistic dramedy -- directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the duo behind "Focus" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love" -- is based on war journalist Kim Barker's 2011 memoir "The Taliban Shuffle," which chronicles her exploits in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Fey portrays a semi-fictional version of Barker, an American reporter who is frustrated with her miserable personal life, gets assigned to cover the war in Kabul. Once there, she is introduced to the rough-and-wild world of frontline journalism, where every day is a day of unbridled celebration ... and overwhelming uncertainty.

Adapted for the screen by Fey's Emmy-winning writing partner Robert Carlock ("30 Rock" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is set to hit theaters on March 4, 2016.
