Donald Sinclair, the eccentric owner of The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, devises a new game to entertain the high rollers who visit his hotel/casino. Six special tokens are placed in the casino's slot machines and the winners are told that $2 million in cash is hidden in a duffel bag in a train station locker at Silver City, New Mexico, which is 563 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Each team is given a key to the locker and to race to the train station in order to claim the money first. Unbeknownst to the competitors, Sinclair's wealthy patrons place bets on who will win. The patrons continue making smaller bets throughout the film while being facilitated by Sinclair's assistant Grisham, who at one point hires an escort as part of a dare.

The racers consist of scheming siblings Duane and Blaine Cody, businesswoman Merrill Jennings and her mother Vera, disgraced American football referee Owen Templeton, the Pear family led by opportunistic Randy Pear, narcoleptic Italian tourist Enrico Pollini and no-nonsense young attorney Nick Schaffer. At first they claim that they're not going to play Sinclair's game, but greed slowly takes over most of the racers as they wait for the elevator and they start to race. On the way they briefly consider working together to get the money, but change their minds once they see Enrico run past them in the staircase.

Unable to get on the earliest flight to Silver City, Duane and Blaine destroy the airport radar with their Ford Bronco thus grounding everybody else yet wrecking their own vehicle in the sabotage, prompting them to steal another. The brothers later decide to split up and create a replica key in the hopes of doubling their chances of winning, but the locksmith overhears their plan and makes off with the key in a hot air balloon. Duane and Blaine catch up to the locksmith, leaving him and a stray dairy cow hanging from the balloon's anchor rope. The brothers then steal a monster truck and drive to Silver City.

Merrill and Vera crash their car after being given malicious road directions by a squirrel seller for not purchasing one of her squirrels. Upon heading to a demonstration for a rocket car, they hijack it causing it to race across the desert until it runs out of fuel. Afterwards, the women dizzily stumble onto a bus full of mental patients headed for Silver City.

Owen becomes stranded in a desert after being kicked out by a taxi driver as revenge for making the bad call at the football game days ago. Upon arriving at a gas station, he finds a bus driver whom he tricks into giving him all his clothes by telling the driver that his wife has gone into labor before hijacking his bus filled with Lucille Ball cosplayers going to an I Love Lucy convention. On the way, the bus hits the cow dangling from the hot air balloon causing it to swerve off the road. Owen then has an emotional breakdown by revealing that he is not the bus driver, resulting in the enraged women chasing him for deceiving them. Later, Owen rides a stolen horse to Silver City.

Randy deceives his family into accompanying him in the race by making them think it's a business trip. On the way, the family mistakenly visits a museum dedicated to the Nazi Klaus Barbie where they steal Adolf Hitler's staff car after the Cody brothers vandalize their vehicle. Randy declines to end the trip when his family becomes tired of traveling. He eventually tells them about the cash and they are initially excited for it. When his family later insists on ending the trip again, Randy drugs them with sleeping pills and bundles them into a semi-truck to reach Silver City.

Nick initially chooses not to participate in the race and plans to go back to Chicago, but he changes his mind once he meets a female pilot named Tracy Faucet who gives him an advantage as she is one of the few pilots who are still able to fly using her non-fixed-wing helicopter. On the way, the helicopter stalls after Tracy uses it to attack her cheating boyfriend Shawn Kent to which the two subsequently hijack Shawn's truck and drive it to Silver City, forming a romantic relationship in the process.

Enrico joins the race seemingly because he is excited to win and does not appear to care about the money itself, but he falls asleep at the start of the race and wakes up hours later. He receives a ride from an ambulance driver named Zack, who is delivering a transplant heart to El Paso. On the way, Enrico inadvertently throws the heart out of the van after Zack opens the icebox containing it. While looking for it in the fields, it gets stolen by a dog which is then electrocuted by an electric fence. Believing that the heart would fail to save the person who needs it due to the holes made by the dog's teeth, Zack decides to murder Enrico and cut out his heart in order to replace the missing heart prompting Enrico to escape by boarding a passing train headed for Silver City. He is then mistaken for a pedophile in the train when he loses his key in a nearby baby's diaper and as a result is thrown out at the Silver City train station, where he becomes the first to reach the locker only to once again fall asleep upon unlocking it.

The racers reunite in Silver City and tackle each other to open the locker, only to find it is empty. Outside they find Sinclair's assistant Grisham and Vicki, the call girl he hired, making off with the money bag. They lose it when the locksmith ties it to the balloon only for the three to crash their car. The racers then follow the balloon until it lands at an outdoor charity concert hosted by Smash Mouth. The band and the crowd mistake the money as a donation when Enrico explains that they decided to "share all the money" on the bus. They try to explain that they don't want to donate the money, but once they see the charitable good spirit they have made the group are persuaded to accept. Nick then surprises a horrified Sinclair and his patrons by declaring to the audience that Sinclair and the gamblers will match the amount of money raised. The film ends with the racers dancing to "All Star" while Sinclair cries, distraught over losing at least 19 million dollars.

Development

Rat Race was initially written by Darryl Quarles as a spec script. By February 1999, the script had been sold to Hollywood Pictures and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. In August 1999, Jerry Zucker was in negotiations to direct the film for Paramount Pictures with a script written by Andy Breckman that would be set in Las Vegas, Nevada and in New Mexico.

Paramount hoped to begin production in the end of 1999 or the beginning of 2000. Jerry and Janet Zucker were to produce the film along with Sean Daniel, while Daniel's partner in Alphaville Films James Jacks, would act as executive producer. The filmmakers initially considered having the film's characters race from Las Vegas, Nevada to Las Vegas, New Mexico but the idea was rejected due to concerns that it might confuse viewers.

In January 2000, Las Vegas, Nevada was confirmed as a filming location for Rat Race. Location scouting in southern Nevada was scheduled for May 2000, while filming in the area was delayed until fall 2000, to avoid shooting the film in one hundred degree weather. Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart were cast in June 2000. Dean Cain was also among the actors to join the cast. Actor John Cleese praised the script as one of only two scripts during his career that he enjoyed: "It's so unusual to get a top-class script. Twice in my life I've had the experience of reading a script and simply saying, 'I'm going to do this.'"

Filming

Filming began in the Canadian city of Calgary in August 2000. Filming took place primarily along Calgary's highways, which stood in as highways that the characters travel on in Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Desert scenes were shot in the Canadian town of Drumheller. Second unit filming began in Las Vegas on August 7, 2000, with scenes primarily involving Cuba Gooding Jr. Scheduled filming locations included the Las Vegas Strip, Tropicana Avenue (east of the Las Vegas Strip), McCarran International Airport, and Nevada State Route 159. Other scheduled filming locations in Nevada included Goodsprings and Sandy Valley.

Scenes involving Gooding and the group of Lucy impersonators were shot in the Canadian Rockies. Jerry Zucker, who had a tradition of including his mother Charlotte Zucker in each of his films beginning with Airplane!, had her portray one of the Lucy impersonators. Jerry Zucker said, "It's like the Alfred Hitchcock signature. Instead of me, it's mom." Filming also took place at Calgary's former Currie Barracks military base, which had been converted to accommodate film and television productions.

Sound stages were constructed inside two aircraft hangars at the base to be used for many of the film's interior scenes, including the Venetian's hotel rooms and conference room. Driving scenes, using green screens and rear projection effects, were also shot inside the hangars. The scene with the coin toss by Owen Templeton was filmed at Calgary's McMahon Stadium.

Filming returned to Las Vegas for a nine-day period beginning on September 20, 2000, with the first three days spent at the McCarran International Airport, before moving to the Venetian resort on the Las Vegas Strip for a six-day shoot. Venetian officials negotiated with Paramount for six months to use the resort in the film. Scenes were shot throughout the Venetian, with the exception of its hotel rooms. Venetian scenes included the casino, lobby, and the entrance to its valet parking garage, as well as exterior shots of the resort. Approximately 1,000 background extras were needed during the second Las Vegas shoot. On September 25, 2000, second unit filming took place along Nevada State Route 161, leading to Goodsprings.

Filming in Las Vegas concluded on September 29, 2000, and production moved to Ely, Nevada,
