Six lucky people who won the slot machine were invited by the casino owner to participate in a treasure hunt: no matter what method was used, the first one to arrive in Silver City, New Mexico, and find 2 million US dollars at the predetermined location people will have this huge sum of money.

The six people couldn't wait to get on the road. In order to reach their destination as quickly as possible, they each showed their unique skills: someone armed with a gun boarded a truck transporting donated organs; someone stopped a truck carrying forty Lucille Ball (famous actress) imitations Someone used a high-speed car that was still in the testing stage; someone took the opportunity to retaliate against a boyfriend who lied; someone encountered a group of lunatics.

Soon, they discovered that they were also dice in someone else's game.

Their every move was tracked and became a talking point for the rich. Six people who were not willing to be taken advantage of changed the direction of the game and gave things an unexpected ending.

All-star cast:

"All-star" is one of the selling points of this film. Let me first introduce the six "Radical Raiders":

Whoopi Goldberg: This one needs no introduction. If you really don't know who she is, just find a basketball hoop. This is an all-around star of dramas, comedies and action comedies. She was one of the highest paid female stars in the early 1990s. In terms of movies, she has won Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. In terms of stage plays, she has won the Goldberg Drama Desk and Theater World Drama Awards, which is equivalent to the "Grammy" in the theater world. In addition, hosting the Oscars multiple times is a testament to her talent for wit and humor.

Rowan Atkinson: This name is too serious and far less creative and loud than his large "Mr. Bean". Don't underestimate Mr. Bean, he is actually a talented student with a degree in electrical engineering from Oxford University. His rich body and expressions are of great use in this treasure hunt farce.

Cuba Godin Jr.: An outstanding representative of the younger generation of black actors. In 1997, he won 7 awards including the Golden Globe and Oscar for "Mr. Sweetheart". Recent releases include "The Hidden Dragon" and the blockbuster "Pearl Harbor." The second-generation 007 Roger Moore proposed that Cuba Golding Jr. replace Pierce Brosnan as the new Bond. What do you think?

Jon Lovitz (Jon Lovitz): He is Benny in "Amateur Thieves" and Uncle Harry in "Lost & Found". He is one of those people who doesn't know who the name is. Look. A type of Hollywood star who looks familiar in the photo. He is a well-known TV star in the United States. He became famous in the mid-1980s when he participated in NBC's famous TV show "Saturday Night Life." He famously said: "Any actor who says he doesn't want to be famous is lying. I've been a waiter, a waiter, a courier, and let me tell you, being a movie star is a lot better." By the way, This guy went to Harvard.

Seth Green: With the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), this 27-year-old cool guy has become famous from the United States to Australia.

In fact, he appeared in a video about natural childbirth since birth, and when he was 10 years old, he appeared in "The Hotel New Hampshire" starring Jodie Foster. Other credits include Austin Powers and Idle Hands. Seth Green formed a production company with his two buddies, Ryan Phillippe and Breckin Meyer.

John Cleese: Plays the casino tycoon. He is a member of the famous British comedy group Monty Python and holds a law degree from Cambridge University. Cleese was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay for "A Fish Called Wanda" (he was also one of the film's directors, producers and actors) and won an Emmy Award. Most recently he starred as "Nearly Headless Nick" in Harry Potter.

In addition, some characters who have not appeared much are also played by well-known actors, and everyone will feel "familiar" at a glance. They include:

Kathy Bates: The 63rd Oscar winner for the award-winning film "Dangerous Days".

Dean Cain: The guy who played Superman in the TV series "Lois and Clark."

Wayne Knight: The fat guy in "The Big Blue" and "Jurassic Park".

Interesting facts behind the scenes:

Director Jerry Zucker has been treading water between romance and farce for many years. "The White-Headed Detective". After completing "First Knight" in 1995, Zucker once again returned from romantic love to farce.

Zucker once wanted to recruit Jim Carrey, a top comedy star with a salary of 20 million, for "The Fugitive". Although his wish was not fulfilled, he was not discouraged at all. On the contrary, he felt that this was good. "At least the audience would not think that these actors are richer than themselves," which made them more credible by resorting to any means necessary for 2 million.

For a master of slapstick like Zhu Ke, directing "The Lost Man" is very easy to control, and he can control the crazy chases, exaggerated actions, on-the-spot gags, etc. with ease. Therefore, the filming process of the film went very smoothly, with only one exception: according to the plot, Seth Green needed to be dragged by a crane across a meadow with a herd of cattle on his way to seize the treasure. Unfortunately, Green got stuck under the cow and “my head almost got stuck.

Although there was a deep red mark on Green's neck, Zucker still proudly claimed: "No cow was harmed during the entire filming process!" ”
