Transcript
00:00He begins with Protagonist, whose name is Jack Hammond, an average guy who had escaped from
00:05prison recently. He comes into a small store to buy a pack of smokes, but little did he know
00:09two cops were about to come inside and ruin his day. This made Jack utterly nervous about the
00:14situation. While standing beside him, cops hear on the radio about a car of a prisoner who had
00:19escaped and looks at the car. They confirms it was the guy's car who was standing in the store.
00:24Not too long after, he takes the women hostage and used the chocolate as if it was a real gun.
00:29With the help of shop owner, he takes away the real guns from the cops and use it to escape from the
00:34spot, along with the women, whose name was Natalie and she was a daughter of the richest man in the
00:39whole California. Meanwhile, a group of cops gets a radio signal to go after the suspect whose name
00:44was Jack, so they begin their pursuit with two cameramans behind their seats. Jack had no idea
00:49that this girl belonged to a very wealthy family, perhaps the wealthiest family. He reveals to
00:55Natalie that she was his only ticket to escape this situation. While, Jack was waiting for the
00:59car lighter to be ready so he could smoke, but seeing this, the girl pulled the lighter out and
01:04injures Jack with him, hence making him drive like a madman and they almost get caught in an accident.
01:09The numbers of cops were increasing rapidly, which was making Jack harder to drive his car.
01:14On their way, Jack goes and takes weird ways, which scare the pedestrians away. It was clear that Jack was
01:20not going up give up this easily. In about a minute, Natalie begins to feel nauseous and throw
01:25up on the wind shaled of the cops, hence making them even harder to win the chase. Jack also realizes
01:30that he had abducted the daughter of the richest guy named Dalton Voss, and it all happened by a
01:35mistake. Now the whole world thinks that he kidnapped the girl to ask for tons of ransom from the rich man.
01:41Jack decide to drive away to the Mexican border along with Natalie, since he does not have any choice at
01:46this point. On the other hand, Dalton Voss arrives at the police station and shouts at the chief for
01:51not doing their job properly, but Chafe assures him that his daughter will be back home safe and
01:56secure in no time. There they manage to figure out all the information about the kidnapper,
02:00whose name was as mentioned Jack Hammond and he had been convicted of a crime of robbing a bank,
02:05but escaped successfully from a prison van while the prisoners were being transported. Police have sent
02:10all the cops in a helicopter for the live feed of the chase. Everything was being recorded and
02:15played across all the TV channels around the city. In the middle of the chase, Jack accidentally
02:19shoots a cop car, which leads to a big accident, about which he explains to Natalie that it was
02:25not intentional at all. Jack explains to Natalie to calm herself down and he himself hated violence
02:30his whole life. This was hard for Natalie to believe due to everything he had done till now.
02:35He reveals to Natalie that he had been falsely convicted of a crime he had not committed,
02:39which was a bank robbery. He proceeds to tell her about his past. One day Jack was wearing a clown
02:44costume for a children party, where by same day a bank heist was going on as well,
02:49in which the robber was wearing a clown costume as well. Jack's neighbors called the cops on him
02:53and since then he had been given a sentence of 25 years in prison. This was the only reason he
02:58escaped out of the prison van because government would not believe him and neither any of his friend
03:03or family. Dalton Voss calls Natalie's phone and asks Jack for the amount of money he wants for her
03:08daughter's freedom, but he refuses it says he does not entrust it in his money. Mr. Voss was also
03:13going mad at Natalie about all the things he had done for her and she caused a lot of trouble for
03:17him already, to which Jack interrupt the conversation suggesting he could not be a worse
03:22father than this and cuts the call. Natalie was surprised by this gesture of Jack, since Voss had
03:27never been talked very rudely by anyone before, especially in Natalie's favor. Later Jack's lawyer
03:33calls the police assuring that he knows Jack's nature and there was no way he could hurt her in any
03:37way or form. He calls Jack and suggest him to surrender, but Jack does not believe him and
03:42refuse to do anything he says, since he knew things had went too far and it was impossible to reverse
03:47them. He knew that his charges will not only center around a bank robbery, but kidnapping and shooting
03:52will be added and this will probably be a life sentence now. So he rather escape for a free live
03:57and try this than to give up. Later on, two clowns on the road decide to become the heroes of the year,
04:02but their plan fails miserably when they end up causing a huge accident on the main road during
04:07the chase. Later on, Jack reveals to Natalie that the gun he used to abduct her was no other than a
04:12chocolate bar. She could not believe and laugh about it. Natalie was getting a bit more comfortable
04:16with Jack, so they share the chocolate. She also treats the wound on his neck, where Jack also tells
04:22her that at the store he thought to himself if he could ever date a fine girl like herself, who he would
04:27probably ask out for a date if he had a chance. Not too long after, Natalie begins to kiss him with
04:32pure passion and offers him to have romantic moment in the middle of the chase. At first Jack
04:37was hesitant, but later he agrees on it and they have the moment where he almost lost control of
04:41the car, which can also be observed by the cops. The chase had come to the point of night where
04:46Natalie asked Jack to go with him in Mexico with her own consent because there was nothing more
04:51interesting she had seen before. She tell him to ask for a huge ransom from her father to be able to
04:56live a luxurious life in Mexico. While Jack was thinking about this, he noticed the cars from the highway
05:02had disappeared. They finally reached the Mexico and American border and finds tons of cops blocking
05:07their way. Natalie was panicking a lot and forced Jack to do something, to which he reverses car and
05:12proceed to take a turn to an empty side of the road and breaks through the metal fence. It does not take
05:17too long for Jack to realize his fate and he stops his car, where all the cops cover them with their cars.
05:23He want Natalie to go away since he knows he would ruin her future if he proceeded to take her away
05:28along with him to the Mexico. Jack ends up putting his gun into Natalie's purse and tells her to get
05:33away from him. She tries to kiss him, but he stops her because he knew this would get her in trouble
05:37or even ruin her life. So he kisses her hands and let her get out of the car. Now we can see Charlie
05:42was smoking and listening to a song. He goes outside, pretends to have a weapon in his hands.
05:47The cops cannot wait for him to do something wrong so they can shoot him. He acts if he has a gun,
05:52to which all the cops reacts immediately and shoots him on the spot. However, this was just
05:57imagination of Jack. He comes out of the car with his hands up in the air and gets arrested,
06:02while all the cops were showing lots of aggression on him. Natalie could clearly see all this happening
06:06and seeing Jack like this Natalie could not control herself and shoots in the air with the gun given
06:11by Jack earlier to get everyone's attention. She takes a reporter hostage and tell the cops to let
06:16Jack go free. Meanwhile, even her father who was standing there, could not believe his eyes.
06:21Watching his daughter choosing a criminal over him. So he must have been too harsh on Natalie,
06:26he thought and felt devastated about it. To intimidate them, she even ends up blowing up
06:31a helicopter, which does work and they let Jack free for the escape. At this point,
06:35even Jack was shocked to see what was actually happening. She walks up to the pilot along with
06:40Jack and puts a gun on his head to intimidate him. Altogether with Jack and the pilot,
06:44she get in the helicopter and fly away from the spot. In a few days, we can see Jack and Natalie
06:49spending the time of their life in the Mexico.
