Rat Race Movie Synopsis

To keep some of the wealthiest gamblers happy, Las Vegas casino owner, Donald Sinclair (Cleese) sets up a human "rat race." Selected at random, six ordinary people are told that there is a duffle bag filled with $2 million in cash locked in a locker in Silver City, New Mexico. The first one to reach it, keeps it all... and there are no rules.

The racers travel by any means necessary - car, train, plane, foot etc., and they are not above cheating each other. Meanwhile, all are being secretly watched by Sinclair's wealthy tycoons who make bets on who will win the cash.

I thought the movie was extreamly funny, and I would go and see it any day!!! It had all the greatest actors put into one movie!!! How much greater could a movie get?!!

I have watched this movie at least 25 times, I laugh harder each time. Have you ever placed a bet on how long a "hottie" maid could hang from a curtain?!!! Ever wondered what you would sound like the day after a "tongue" piercing? If you don`t think this movie is insanity at it`s best---I bet your mom is in your prom pic.!!!!

Absolutly FUNNY one of the best movies ever in America
