Don't Drink the Water is a 1994 television movie directed by Woody Allen, based on a play he wrote in the 1960s. It was the second filmed version of the play, after the 1969 version, starring Jackie Gleason, left Allen unsatisfied. The story revolves around a family of American tourists (played by Allen, Julie Kavner, and Mayim Bialik) who get trapped behind the Iron Curtain. Michael J. Fox plays the bumbling American ambassador.

The play has seen numerous successful runs on both big and small stages
