Johnson's character is the Marlboro Man, who appeared in commercials advertising Marlboro cigarettes from 1954 to 1999.
The film was a critical and financial failure, earning only $7 million at the domestic box office (the budget was estimated at $23 million). It has since become a cult classic following its release to video.
