Big Trouble
They have forty-five minutes to save the world. They need forty-six.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
Produced by Touchstone Pictures, The Jacobson Company
A chaotic, ensemble comedy-thriller where a mysterious suitcase entangles a motley cast of characters in absurd circumstances, balancing irreverent humor with action-movie stakes.
The story of how a mysterious suitcase brings together, and changes, the lives of a divorced dad, an unhappy housewife, two hitmen, a pair of street thugs, two love struck teens, two FBI men and a psychedelic toad. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry's best-selling first novel, "Big Trouble."
