A high-octane, comedic action-chase film that treats a hostage situation and police pursuit as spectacle and entertainment, balancing thrills with irreverent humor.

Jack Hammond is sentenced to life in prison, but manages to escape. To get away from the police he takes a girl as hostage and drives off in her car. The girl happens to be the only daughter of one of the richest men in the state. In a while the car chase is being broadcast live on every TV-channel.
