Earl Montgomery
(Martin Lawrence), a bombastic police academy reject, and Hank Rafferty
(Steve Zahn), a disgraced, mild-mannered cop, can't seem to escape each
other. They met on opposite sides of the law during a routine traffic
stop that escalated out of control; now as lowly security guards they're
thrown together to bust a smuggling operation. Despite facing resistance
from the police department's Lt. Washington (Bill Duke) and Detective
McDuff (Colm Feore)- and from each other-Earl and Hank begin to unravel
the sophisticated scheme led by Nash (Eric
Roberts) and his band of thugs. Our guys get their hands on an indestructible
metal alloy that is worth millions and is essential to the whole ring.
As hare-brained as the plan they set in motion is, these unlikely partners
might just solve a crime- if they don't kill each other first.
