A madcap disaster-movie parody that prioritizes absurdist slapstick and genre satire over character depth or genuine peril.
A nuclear-powered bus is making its maiden non-stop trip from New York to Denver. The journey is plagued by disasters due to the machinations of a mysterious group allied with the oil lobby. Will the down-on-his-luck driver, with a reputation for eating his passengers, be able to complete the journey?
