You could consider this the It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World for the new millenium.
Donald Sinclair (Cleese) is the eccentric billionaire owner of a Las Vegas hotel/casino who devises a game to entertain the gamblers who visit his hotel. He puts six special tokens in six slot machines, and the winners are gathered together and told that there's a forutune locked in a train station in Silver City, New Mexico. Everyone is given a key and sent on their way. After all deciding that this is a scam, they all promise one another that they won't be participating...which is a lie, of course. As they all hastily depart Las Vegas, Sinclair and his buddies place bets on who will reach New Mexico first.
A fun movie. Recommended.
