Plot
In an attempt to gain access to his father's insurance money, meaty antagonist Dwayne and his moronic partner in crime Travis plan to hire an assassin to do their dirty work. But, in order to do so, they need 100,000 dollars for the job to be done. Desperately, Dwayne and Travis develop a plan to kidnap a pizza delivery man, and force him to rob a bank with a bomb vest attached to his chest with an 8 hour timer. In a race against the clock, our delivery man (Eisenberg), and his faithful best friend (Ansari) team up for an intensely hilarious action packed thrill ride.
