"Rat Race" marks Bernstein's third collaboration with Zucker, whose first film (with brother David Zucker), "Airplane," (and subsequent "Airplane II: The Sequel") forever changed the landscape of comedy-adventure and its music. The summer release features an all-star comedic ensemble that includesJohn Cleese, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Lovitz and Paul Rodriguez. To entertain a group of the world's wealthiest high rollers, an eccentric casino tycoon pits eight unwitting players against one another in the race for two million dollars. "Rat Race" follows these contestants in a mad dash for cash. There is only one rule: there are no rules.
