Bucum Jackson (Ice Cube) is a maverick bounty hunter who refuses to take on a partner. His current assignment is finding Reggie Wright (Epps), a slippery con artist. This is not the first time the pair has been on opposite sides of the law, but this time, Bucum’s wild pursuit lands them both in the middle of a multi-million dollar diamond heist. Reggie unexpectedly finds himself in the back of a getaway van driven by cold-hearted jewel thieves. After escaping the van, it seems things are starting to look up for Reggie when his recently purchased lottery ticket turns out to be the winner of a $60 million jackpot. Unfortunately, the winning ticket is in Reggie’s lost wallet in the back of the getaway van. With the diamonds and the lottery ticket at stake, and their futures on the line, Bucum and Reggie embark on a wild ride of a partnership that is “all about the Benjamins.”
