Cheech & Chong - Viel Rauch um nichts (1978)
Pedro De Pacas und Anthony „Man“ Stoner sind zwei Taugenichtse, die es zu nicht viel im Leben gebracht haben. Cheech ist ein Ausreißer, der auf der Flucht vor seinem Elternhaus ist und Chong will unbedingt Musiker werden und sucht deshalb nach einem Drummer für seine zukünftige Band. Die beiden begegnen sich zufällig auf einer Landstraße und werden schnell Freunde, denn es verbindet sie eine Leidenschaft – die Liebe zum Marihuana. Doch genau das wird ihnen zum Verhängnis, als sie wegen eines Joints von der Polizei hochgenommen werden. Doch davon lassen sich die beiden nicht unterkriegen. Es beginnt ein wahnsinniger Road-Trip, der die beiden nach Tijuana und mit einem LKW voller Gras Richtung Los Angeles führt, wo sie bei einem Band-Contest mit ihrer heißen Ladung etwas Schwung ins Publikum bringen wollen …
