The trucker steals the show.

"John Candy plays a security guard who is truly "armed and dangerous." I don't remember much about the first four-fifths of the movie. Something about John Candy dressing in drag in a porn shop. I think he caught a big fish, too. Anyway, bumbling John Candy is stuck in a traffic jam, and he needs to be at a certain place at a certain time, and people's lives are at stake, and he asks a trucker to take him there. What should the driver do: finish his run, or cause thousands of dollars of damage to possibly save lives? It's a classic moral dilemma. Well, wheels are turnin..."

💡 Did You Know?

Harold Ramis executive produced the film but asked to have his name removed from both the producer and screenwriter credits because he did not like the final cut of the film. Only his producer credit was removed.
