Jack Foley (George Clooney) breaks out of prison with the help of his partner Buddy (Ving Rhames). Unfortunately, as he’s busting out, Federal Marshall Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez)is dropping off-and the men end up kidnapping her. Hiding in the trunk, the two improbably hit it off, but Karen is not going to stop being a Marshall, so soon she’s convinced the pair’s third partner, Glenn Michaels (Steve Zahn), to drive off without them. The hunt is on, but Foley and Buddy have a big score planned, and soon everyone is in Detroit. The score connects back to the trio’s time in prison, and brings in more characters, including psychotic ex-boxer “Snoopy” Maurice Miller (Don Cheadle) and white-collar criminal Richard “Dick the Ripper” Ripley (Albert Brooks). Sisco manages to get on the task force that’s hunting Foley, and the pair continue their romance through a few key “time outs” in their roles as a cop and robber, while Foley and Buddy try to outmaneuver the cops and their fellow crooks.
