The Dictator is a 2012 American comedy directed by Larry Charles (Borat) starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, and Ben Kingsley.

Typical for his movies, Baron Cohen promoted the film in character, including an appearance at the 84th Academy Awards.
The following weapons were used in the film The Dictator:
