It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

ActionAdventureComedyCrime210 min

After a dying thief tells a group of stranded motorists about a suitcase of stolen cash buried under “a big W,” strangers who have nothing in common lunge into the same race for the prize. The hunt sprawls across highways, gas stations, back roads, and city streets as alliances form, collapse, and turn into open sabotage. Every shortcut becomes a disaster, and every attempt to get ahead leaves more wreckage behind. Spencer Tracy hovers at the edge of the chaos as a police captain watching the chase with growing interest, while Milton Berle is one of the fortune hunters whose greed keeps the pileup moving.
