The group of cars and stars gather on the east coast to run all the way to California, some for money, some for pride, and some -- like the dopes in the pickup truck -- for redneck tomfoolery! Regardless of the goal, they must avoid plenty of "smokies" along the way, while outrunning, outsmarting, and out-conniving each other.

You've got hot (that's frumpy '80s hot) girls in Lamborghinis, fake priests in Ferraris, fake doctors in ambulances, acerbic middle-eastern sheiks in Rolls Royces, and karate masters in computerized Subarus. Hell, you've even got Roger Moore in a trick Aston Martin playing himself!

The entire cast has to avoid a "goody-goody" senator who's made it his mission to stop the Cannonballers at all costs. One participant hitches a ride aboard a tractor-trailer to outsmart the cops at a roadblock. The girls in the Lambo keep getting pulled over but use their ample busts and fluttering eyelashes to get out of citations. Others use emergency vehicle sirens and a sick girl on laughing gas to convince the police that they really do have a good reason to be traveling at 120 mph.

Pretty funny stuff from an all-star cast!
