Un variegato gruppo di piloti partecipa a una corsa clandestina che attraversa da costa a costa gli Stati Uniti d'America. Ogni equipaggio ha in serbo la propria originale strategia per eludere la cattura da parte delle forze dell'ordine e giungere primo al traguardo: J.J. McClure (Burt Reynolds) e Victor Prinzim (Dom DeLuise) gareggiano con un'ambulanza con tanto di finto paziente e uno sconclusionato e alcolizzato dottore al seguito, Seymour Goldfarb, Jr. (Roger Moore) si affida invece ad "accessori" per la sua Aston Martin DB5 degni del miglior Agente 007, Jamie Blake (Dean Martin) e Morris Fenderbaum (Sammy Davis Jr.) si travestono da preti cattolici e guidano una Ferrari 308 GTS, mentre Jill Rivers (Tara Buckman) e Marcie Thatcher (Adrienne Barbeau) alla guida di una Lamborghini Countach fanno affidamento al loro fisico mozzafiato per ingraziarsi i poliziotti.
