Summary

Belle Williams (Queen Latifah) is a speed demon. Flying through the streets of New York in her tricked-out taxi, she’s earned a rep as New York’s fastest cabbie. But driving a hack is only a pit stop for her real dream: Belle wants to be a race car champion. And she’s well on her way -- until she’s derailed by overeager cop Andy Washburn (Jimmy Fallon), whose undercover skills are matched only by his total ineptitude behind the wheel. Washburn, whose lack of vehicular skills has landed him in the precinct doghouse, is hot on the heels of a gang of beautiful Brazilian bank robbers, led by Vanessa (Gisele Bündchen), their cold, calculating -- and leggy -- leader. To nab the evasive crooks, drivers license-less Washburn convinces Belle to team up with him to pursue Vanessa and crew. Belle has carte blanche to drive at any speed and break any law. The car-less cop and speed-demon cabbie -- New York’s unlikeliest partners -- begin a high-speed game of cat and mouse with the robbers. That is, if Belle and Washburn don’t end up killing each other first.Academy Award nominee Queen Latifah (“Chicago”) and “Saturday Night Live’s” Jimmy Fallon (in his first major feature film role) team up in the buddy comedy TAXI. The film is based on the 1998 international smash “Taxi,” written and directed by Luc Besson, which became the largest grossing film in the history of French cinema and has since spawned two sequels. Besson also produces TAXI.Making her acting debut as Vanessa, the ringleader of the all-female bank robbers, is Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Jennifer Esposito (“Don’t Say a Word”) stars as Washburn’s boss and ex-girlfriend, and two-time Oscar nominated movie legend Ann-Margret (“Carnal knowledge,” “Tommy”) portrays Washburn’s eccentric mom.
