Ed Okin's life is somewhat out of control. He can't sleep, his wife betrays him, and his job is dull. One night, he starts to drive through Los Angeles, and he finally ends in the parking garage of Los Angeles International Airport. Moments later, a beautiful young lady jumps onto his bonnet and he finds himself being chased by four Iranians. What follows is a wild chase through the streets of Los Angeles, and a very funny one too. 本片是由曾执导过《美国狼人在伦敦》的约翰．兰迪斯导演，是一部风格特异的悬疑惊险片。还邀请了《魔鬼克星》的丹．艾克罗伊德、摇滚乐巨星戴维．鲍伊、大导演保罗．马泽斯基等人。 剧中讲述一个住在洛杉矶的工程师艾德，在赌城拉斯维加斯巧遇美女黛安娜。黛安娜正受人之托准备把宝石秘密交给别人，但收货人却被人暗算，残暴的杀手组织对黛安娜仍紧追不放，这使她和艾德陷入危机四伏的处境中。
