English Summary:
Rat Race is a 2001 American comedy film directed by Jerry Zucker. Inspired by Stanley Kramer's 1963 classic It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, the film features an ensemble cast consisting of Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Lovitz, Kathy Najimy, Lanai Chapman, Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart, Seth Green, Vince Vieluf, Wayne Knight, John Cleese and Dave Thomas.
Eccentric tycoon Donald Sinclair devises a game to entertain the high rollers who visit his Las Vegas casino. He arranges for six competitors to race the 563 miles (906 km) to Silver City, New Mexico, where the winner's prize of $2 million has been placed in a luggage locker. Unbeknownst to them, Sinclair's wealthy patrons place bets on who will win.
The racers consist of scheming siblings Duane and Blaine Cody, highly-strung businesswoman Merrill Jennings and her mother Vera, disgraced football referee Owen Templeton, the Pear family led by the opportunistic Randy Pear, narcoleptic Italian tourist Enrico Pollini, and no-nonsense attorney Nick Schaffer. They initially agree not to play Sinclair's game, but greed takes over as they wait to start to race.
Duane and Blaine destroy the airport radar, grounding everybody else. They decide to better their chances by splitting up. They have a locksmith create a duplicate key, but he overhears their plan and absconds with the key in a hot air balloon. The brothers catch him and leave him and a stray cow hanging from the balloon's anchor rope. Soon, the brothers lose control of their car and become flattened in a monster truck rally. They then steal the monster truck and drive it to Silver City.
Hungarian Summary:
Donald Sinclair, dúsgazdag Las Vegas-i kaszinó-tulajdonos elhatározza, hogy boldoggá teszi leggazdagabb szerencsejátékos törzsvendégeit. Kiagyal tehát a számukra egy speciális sporteseményt, egy amolyan "egérfuttatás"-t, amelyre fogadhatnak. Csakhogy a versenyzők ezúttal emberek. A versenyzők találomra kiválasztott átlagemberek. Sinclair hat különleges, aranyból készült, érmét helyez el hat különböző nyerőautomatában. Aki megnyeri ezeket az érméket, indulhat a versenyen. A "sajt", amiért a versenyzők futnak, kétmillió dollár, készpénzben. A pénzt egy matrózzsákba teszik, amelyet bezárnak egy csomagmegőrzőbe, a Las Vegas-tól 1.100 kilométerre lévő, új-mexikói Silver City vasútállomásán van. A pénzt az nyeri meg, aki elsőnek ér oda. Ám a versenyzők nem tudják, hogy Sinclair és szerencsejáték-mániás törzsvendégei minden mozdulatukat nyomon követik. Úgy figyelik őket, mint a laboratóriumi kutatók a kísérleti állatokat. És persze fogadnak a győztesre. Ebben a versenyben mindent szabad. A versenyzők utaznak busszal, vonattal, helikopterrel, repülővel. Mindennel, ami mozog. És persze hazudoznak, próbálnak minden trükköt bevetni, hogy kiüssék egymást a nyeregből. Nem az a kérdés, hogy a versenyzők milyen eszközöket használnak, hanem az, hogy milyeneket nem.
