A Las Vegas casino tycoon devises an outrageous competition for the amusement of his wealthy patrons. Six unsuspecting contestants are chosen to race across the country to claim $2 million locked in a distant storage locker. With no rules and everything on the line, the racers—each more eccentric than the last—resort to increasingly ridiculous schemes to outpace each other. Meanwhile, the casino tycoon and his high-rolling friends monitor the chaos, betting on the outcome. Rat Race is a madcap ensemble comedy about greed, luck, and the hilarity of human desperation.
