A journalist (Johnny Depp) and his lawyer (Benicio del Toro) road trip to Las Vegas, armed with a typewriter, a red convertible, and enough drugs to tranquilize a small country. What begins as coverage of a desert motorcycle race spirals into a kaleidoscopic fever dream involving lizard people, a suitcase full of bad decisions, and the slow, screaming death of the American Dream. It’s Hunter S. Thompson by way of Looney Tunes — if Bugs Bunny had a mescaline problem.
Two stoners (Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong) accidentally invent the world’s first marijuana-powered van and unknowingly drive it straight across the U.S./Mexico border — smuggling a literal ton of weed. Along the way, they form a band, get deported, eat a suspicious amount of snack food, and forget what they were doing approximately every seven minutes.
