For years, the North African Republic of Wadiya has been ruled by Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen), a childish, lecherous, misogynous, anti-western and antisemitic despot who surrounds himself with female bodyguards, refuses to allow Wadiyan oil to be sold internationally and is working on developing nuclear weapons. 2yrs ago Aladeen had ordered the execution of the head of his nuclear division, Nuclear Nadal, when Nadal failed to deliver a pointy missile argued about the merits of a round head missile with Aladeen. After the United Nations Security Council resolves to intervene militarily, Aladeen travels to the UN Headquarters in New York City to address the council. Shortly after arriving, he is kidnapped by Clayton, a hit-man hired by his treacherous uncle Tamir (ben Kingsley). Clayton was hired as Aladeen's head of security in US by Tamir. Tamir had earlier failed in an assassination attempt on Aladeen in Wadia when a hit-man killed Aladeen's body double by mistake. Tamir then replaces Aladeen with a mentally challenged political decoy named Efawadh, whom he intends to manipulate into signing a document democratizing Wadiya and opening the country's oil fields for business. Aladeen escapes after Clayton accidentally burns himself to death, but his huge beard has been shaved off by Clayton, making him practically unrecognizable. Aladeen borrows some clothes & goes to the UN HQ & finds Tamir bringing in his decoy. Aladeen realizes it was Tamir's treachery all along. Aladeen encounters activist Zoey (Anna Faris) & introduces himself as Allison Burgers. Zoey offers him a job at her alternative lifestyle co-op. Aladeen refuses the offer and travels to New York's "Little Wadiya", located near the Marcy Avenue station, which is populated by refugees from his country. There, he encounters "Nuclear" Nadal, the former chief of Wadiya's nuclear weapons program and head procurer of women, whom Aladeen thought he had previously executed, working at the 5th Avenue Apple store. Nadal explains that Wadiyan rebels infiltrated his intelligence unit, sending into exile all the people he had ordered to be executed. All these people now live in NY & run hate Aladeen clubs. Meanwhile Tamir declares that the new constitution will be signed in NYC Lancaster hotel in 3 day's time. Nadal promises to help Aladeen thwart Tamir's plot and regain his position as 'rightful' dictator, on condition that Aladeen makes him head of Wadiya's WMD program again. Aladeen agrees and accepts Zoey's job offer, as she is catering at the Lancaster hotel where the signing is to occur & has a security badge that can get her into the hotel. Aladeen grows closer to Zoey after she refuses his sexual advances and teaches him how to masturbate, and then falls in love with her while watching her boldly and passionately tell off a police officer after Aladeen is arrested on his NYC Helicopter city tour, when he implies that he is going to recreate 911 in 2012, when in reality he was simply talking about the Porche 911 latest edition released in 2012. The day before the CEO of Lancaster hotel is about to visit Zoey for an inspection, Tamir sends an assassin to eliminate Aladeen. In the fight, Zoey's preparations are destroyed & the CEO takes his catering requirement to Zoey's rival. Aladeen is devastated as he no longer has access to Lancaster hotel. He takes charge. Turning around Zoey's struggling business, Aladeen begins imposing strict schedules on everyone, forming a personality cult around Zoey and intimidating an inspector into giving the store a good review. However, Aladeen's relationship with Zoey becomes strained after he reveals his true identity. Zoey hates Aladeen for all he stands for. After acquiring a new beard taken from a corpse, Aladeen infiltrates the hotel and tells Efawadh to leave. At the signing ceremony in NYC, he tears up Tamir's document in front of the UN delegation and holds an impassioned speech praising the virtues of dictatorship, drawing unintended parallels to current issues within the United States. However, upon seeing Zoey in the room, he declares his love for her and, knowing Zoey's strongly-held views, vows to democratize his country and open up Wadiya's oil fields for business, but in a way where the general populace will benefit. Angry with Aladeen staying in power, Tamir attempts to assassinate him, but Efawadh jumps in front of the bullet and survives as it is his job "to be shot in the head". A year later, Wadiya holds its first democratic elections, although they are rigged in favor of Aladeen (having now added the titles President Prime Minister to his previous Admiral General). Afterwards, he marries Zoey but is shocked when she crushes a glass and reveals herself to be Hebrew. Scenes during the credits show Aladeen's convoy, now consisting of Eco-friendly cars, visiting a reinstated Nadal, and later Zoey revealing in a television interview that she is pregnant with the couple's first child. Aladeen responds to the news by asking if Zoey is having "a boy or an abortion".
