Watch First 2 Minutes of Sacha Baron Cohen's 'The Dictator'

Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator doesn’t hit theaters until May 16 but you can check out the official opening scene below!

The nearly 2-minute long clip gives viewers a glimpse into General Aladeen’s (Cohen) background and the track scene featured in the comedy’s trailer.

Sacha, in character as the general, recently appeared at CinemaCon 2012 in Las Vegas where he greeted the crowd by saying, “Hello. And death to the West. I am happy to address Cinnabon.”

At one point, he also pulled out a fake detonator and told the crowd, “Trust me, there are bigger bombs than John Carter.”
