🎬 Rat Race 2 (2025)
👉 Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart, Whoopi Goldberg
Money makes people do crazy things — and in Donald Sinclair’s (John Cleese) twisted world of high-stakes gambling, the crazier the better. In Rat Race 2, the eccentric Las Vegas billionaire returns with an even bigger, wilder scheme: another no-holds-barred cross-country race, this time with an even more outrageous prize. Locked away in a mystery location sits a fortune worth millions, and the only way to claim it is to get there first. No rules, no referees, no safety nets — just pure chaos.
The contestants are as mismatched as ever. Straight-laced attorney Nick (Breckin Meyer) swears he won’t get pulled into another disaster, but somehow finds himself right back in the madness. Tracy (Amy Smart), a daredevil pilot with nerves of steel, proves once again that the sky is never the limit. Vera and Merrill (Whoopi Goldberg and Lanai Chapman), the endlessly bickering mother-daughter duo, can’t go five minutes without sabotaging each other — yet somehow manage to stay in the race. And that’s just the beginning: a new lineup of oddballs, schemers, and unsuspecting suckers joins the fray, each one armed with ridiculous plans, backstabbing strategies, and a willingness to risk it all for the money.
From car chases that end in cornfields to botched disguises, exploding hot-air balloons, and hotel room catastrophes, every mile of the race brings new disasters. Sinclair and his team of wealthy elites watch from afar, betting on the contestants like racehorses — laughing, cheering, and doubling down on every spectacular failure.
Directed once again with Jerry Zucker’s flair for ensemble chaos, Rat Race 2 doubles down on the slapstick insanity of the original. With absurd coincidences, outrageous stunts, and a cast that thrives on physical comedy and razor-sharp timing, the film carries the anarchic spirit of screwball classics like It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World into a new generation.
Fast, frantic, and funnier than ever, Rat Race 2 is a mad dash for riches where loyalty crumbles, alliances implode, and desperation pushes everyone to their breaking point. In a race where cheating is encouraged and luck never lasts, one thing is certain: when greed fuels the engine, the road ahead is nothing but hilarity.
