Plot

Naive but good natured young man Albert Hockenberry arrives in Washington, D.C. with plans to work for his late father's army buddy Harold, owner of the run-down taxicab company D.C. Cab. Aware of the sorry state of his business and from the growing competition from the popular Emerald Cab Company, Harold wants to clean it up but doesn't have the financial means to do so. Complicating matters is the motley group of cab drivers that he has working for him. They all see driving as a dead end job while they wait for better lives, until Albert inspires them to work as a team.

Awards: None

Trivia

Jim Carrey auditioned for the film. 'Joel Schumacher' turned him down because he felt Carrey was too talented to be in an ensemble.
