Three thieves successfully rob a New York City bank, but making the escape from the city proves to be almost impossible.

When a man dressed as a clown enters a bank and tries to rob it, no one takes him seriously at start. But as this New Yorker pulls this daring robbery with the help of his friends, it looks like leaving the bank with all the stolen money is the easy part! All they have to do now is make it out of the city and to the airport. They have plenty of time, but its not that easy as they seem to get out of one problem only to fall into another. Will they make before the cops catch up with them?—Sami Al-Taher <[email protected]>

Grimm, a burnt-out New Yorker, has devised an ingenious plan to escape the city he hates so much; dressed as a clown, he robs a Manhattan bank and cleverly escapes disguised as a hostage along with his accomplices, girlfriend Phyllis and best friend Loomis. However, whilst robbing the bank was comparatively straight-forward and easy, the getaway quickly turns into a nightmare, as the relatively simple act of getting to the airport to catch a flight becomes a tangled ordeal of obstructions, including confused roadworkers, conmen, mobsters, bureaucratic bus-drivers and a cabbie who doesn't speak a word of English. And all the while Rotzinger, the equally world-weary but relentless Chief of Police, is doggedly on their tail.—Scott Nisbet

In New York City, a man dressed like a clown robs a bank and closes his hostages in the vault. He negotiates with the veteran Chief of Police Rotzinger (Jason Robards) by phone and demands a helicopter, a powerful motorcycle, a bus and a monster truck. In return, he would release one hostage per item received. When the helicopter arrives, he releases a man that cries all the time. Then the motorcycle and the bus arrive, and he releases a couple of tourists. However, the hostages he has delivered are his friend Loomis (Randy Quaid); his girlfriend Phyllis Geena Davis; and himself, Grimm (Bill Murray), who is the mastermind of the heist. Now they are ready to leave New York City and fly to the Fiji Island. However, Loomis is a little slow and jeopardizes his getaway plan, and they have many difficulties to reach the JFK airport. Meanwhile, Rotzinger and the NYPD are hunting them down.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
