罗德(安迪•萨姆伯格 Andy Samberg 饰)与同母异父的弟弟凯文(乔玛•塔昆 Jorma Taccone 饰),以及两个又二又丧的朋友组成了一个特技飞车小组。飞车手罗德的生活中只有两件事:继承死去的特技车手父亲的遗志,打赢强壮的继父弗兰克(伊恩•麦柯肖恩 Ian McShane 饰)。但罗德的所有特技表演几乎都沦为疯狂的自毁举动,而全副武装后的每一次挑战结果都是被弗兰克击溃。精力超级旺盛的不死之身罗德也几乎挺不住了!可这天他突然惊闻弗兰克罹患心脏病,罗德为实现弗兰克必死于自己之手的愿望,计划进行前所未有的飞车表演来为弗兰克筹集手术款,并趁机将自己暗恋已久邻家美女丹妮丝(艾拉•菲舍尔 Isla Fisher 饰)拉入了队伍。于是,一场近似于自杀的飞车表演拉开了无厘头大幕……Rod Kimble is a naïf, a slacker living in a small US town with his mom, his younger brother, and his stepfather whose respect he craves.
