Donald Sinclair, the eccentric owner of The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, devises a new game to entertain the high rollers who visit his hotel/casino. Six special tokens are placed in the casino’s slot machines and the winners are told that $2 million in cash is hidden in a duffel bag in a train station locker at Silver City, New Mexico, which is 563 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Each team is given a key to the locker and to race to the train station in order to claim the money. Unbeknownst to the competitors, Sinclair’s wealthy patrons place bets on who will win. The patrons continue making smaller bets throughout the film while being facilitated by Sinclair’s assistant Grisham, who at one point hires an escort as part of a dare.

The racers consist of scheming siblings Duane and Blaine Cody, high-strung businesswoman Merrill Jennings and her mother Vera, disgraced football referee Owen Templeton, the Pear family led by the opportunistic Randy Pear, narcoleptic Italian tourist Enrico Pollini and no-nonsense young attorney Nick Schaffer. At first, they claim that they’re not going to play Sinclair’s game, but greed slowly takes over most of the racers as they wait for the elevator and start to race. On the way, they briefly consider working together to get the money, but they change their minds once they see Enrico run past them in the staircase.

Unable to get on the earliest flight to Silver City, Duane and Blaine destroy the airport radar with their Ford Bronco, grounding everybody else yet wrecking their own vehicle in the sabotage, prompting them to steal another. The brothers later decide to split up and create a replica key in the hopes of doubling their chances of winning, but the locksmith overhears their plan and makes off with the key in a hot air balloon. Duane and Blaine catch up to the locksmith, leaving him and a stray dairy cow hanging from the balloon’s anchor rope. Later, the brothers hijack a monster truck and drive it to Silver City.

Merrill and Vera crash their car after being given malicious road directions by a squirrel seller for not purchasing one of her squirrels. Later, they steal a rocket car which races across the desert until it runs out of fuel. Afterwards, the two dizzily stumble onto a bus full of mental patients headed for Silver City.

Owen becomes stranded in a desert after being kicked out by a taxi driver as revenge for making the bad call at the football game days ago. Upon arriving at a gas station, he finds a bus driver whom he tricks into giving him all his clothes by telling the driver that his wife has gone into labor, before hijacking his bus filled with Lucille Ball cosplayers going to an I Love Lucy convention. On the way, the bus hits the cow dangling from the hot air balloon, causing it to swerve off the road. Owen then has an emotional breakdown and reveals that he is not the bus driver, resulting in the enraged women chasing him for deceiving them. Later, Owen rides a horse to Silver City.

Randy tricks his family into accompanying him in the race by making them think it’s a business trip. On the way, the family mistakenly visits a museum dedicated to the Nazi Klaus Barbie where they steal Adolf Hitler’s staff car after the Cody brothers vandalize their vehicle. Randy declines to end the trip when his family becomes tired of traveling. He eventually tells them about the cash and they are initially excited for it. When his family later insists on ending the trip again, Randy drugs them with sleeping pills and bundles them into a semi-truck to reach Silver City.

At first, Nick chooses not to participate in the race and instead plans to head back to Chicago, but he changes his mind after he meets a female pilot named Tracy Faucet, who gives him an advantage as she is one of the few pilots who are still able to fly using her non-fixed-wing helicopter. After Tracy uses her helicopter to attack her cheating boyfriend Shawn Kent, she and Nick subsequently hijack Shawn’s truck and drive it to Silver City, forming a romantic relationship in the process.
