RAT RACE Paramount Pictures Rated (PG-13)

A wild comedy about Las Vegas casino tycoon Donald Sinclair, who is determined to keep his wealthiest high-rollers happy, so he concocts a new, quasi-legal sporting event for them to bet on: a human "rat race." The Rat Racers are six ordinary people, selected at random. Sinclair has put six special minted gold coins in six different slot machines. Anyone who wins a coin is invited to join the race. The odds of winning are one in six. The "cheese" is $2 million in cash in a duffel bag, in a locker, in Silver City, New Mexico--700 miles away. The first one there keeps it all. The racers travel by anything that moves, and they cheat, lie and sabotage one another. Starring Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Seth Green, Jori Lovitz, Breckin Meyer, Kathy Najimy, Amy Smart and Lanai Chapman.
