Chevy Chase, Jack Palance and Dianne Wiest star in this comedy caper about a mild-mannered accountant whose dreams of being a supercop come hilariously to life. In the pursuit of a dangerous counterfeiter, grizzled cop Jake Stone (Palance) convinces a suburban family to let him use their home for an extended stakeout. But this "typical" family is anything but, with a pratfalling father (Chase) whose cop-show obsession endangers the whole operation. Reuniting the director and star of Fletch, Cops & Robbersons combines fast-moving farce, sight gags and physical comedy for arresting entertainment.
