Brad Pitt is Jerry, a low-level Mafia “mechanic” whose ineptitude is countered by frequent bursts of dumb good fortune. Julia Roberts is Jerry’s girlfriend, and he or she wants him to get out of the business. Before Jerry can depart ways with the mob, he will have to do one last errand – go to Mexico and recuperate a rare, valuable, and perhaps cursed pistol referred to as “The Mexican.” He finds the weapon with ease but making his as far back as the States proves to be tougher, especially when hired hitman Leroy (James Gandolfini) plans to kidnap Samantha until Jerry comes back. Director Gore Verbinski (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) brings to the screen a unique mixture of action-comedy and road-movie chaos on this unpredictable, original hit.
