A white man and a black man, worlds apart, go on the run together.
Tim Robbins plays an addled advertising executive who comes
home early one day and discovers his wife in bed with his boss. To make matters worse,
he's later carjacked by a struggling, unemployed family-man-turned-petty-thief (Martin Lawrence), and that's when he loses his cool completely.
Having nothing to lose, he takes the carjacker hostage and recruits him on a road-trip
scheme of revenge against his wife and boss. Plotting to break into his boss's
high-security vault, Robbins gets a criminal assist from Lawrence, but they're also on the
run from another pair of would-be thieves who trail them to the vault's location.
The DVD release
includes optional widescreen and standard formats, optional French and Spanish
soundtracks, and original theatrical trailers.

This movie is hilarious, just thinking of certain scenes makes you crack up, especially if
you live in cities where you see these people every day. It has excellent, upbeat music,
and good hearted, LA slick and easy characters. The description on the cover is that it's
"the dumb and dumber of disco".
VHS
Nothing
to Lose 
Great visual gags.
The cultural and linguistical clashes between the middle and working class are
hysterically explored in Nothing to Lose,
where a high rolling advertising executive (Robbins) and an
out of work, would-be carjacker (Lawrence) are brought
together under pressing circumstances.
