Successful lawyer "Marianne Graves" (Goldie Hawn) runs into old boyfriend "Rick Jarmin" (Mel Gibson) while he's working at an auto shop.

As it turns out, Rick is a protected witness in the Witness Protection Program who comes under fire when the criminal he testified against is released on parole. When Marianne learns what really happened and that Rick did not jilt her on purpose, she joins him on a cross-country trek while dodging the police and the criminals after Rick.

Goofs

During one of the scenes the audience sees Mel Gibsons character's feet being hit by a bus. This was originally a mistake that happened to the stunt double, but was left in the final film.^{[citation needed]}
