Reese Witherspoon stars in this comedy as an uptight and by-the-book-cop, Rose Cooper, in the San Antonio Police Department.

She is asked to accompany Deputy US Marshal Jackson to protect an informant, Felipe Riva and his wife Daniella (Vergara) after Felipe decides to testify against notorious drugs cartel leader Vincente Cortez.

They arrive at the Riva’s home to the sound of gunshots.

Two masked men shoot at Jackson and Felipe and they are killed.

Cooper finds Daniella hiding in the backseat of their car and helps her to escape.

Cooper is then considered a fugitive since she has taken Daniella with her.

The story continues as the two race through Texas, pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.
