Plot
After Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) gets stuck in an airline toilet, The plane suffers a minor disaster and, as a result, his dog sucked through a jet engine. He then sues the airline. After getting a large settlement of $100,000,000 he decides to start his own airline, called NWA (Nashawn Wade Airlines), whose acronym and logo are a pop culture reference to rap group NWA. The airline specifically caters to African Americans and hip hop culture. The terminal at the airport is called the Malcolm X terminal, the plane is "pimped-out" with low-rider hydraulics, a dance club, and the safety video is a spoof of the Destiny's Child song Survivor. It's the first flight for NWA and Nashawn is trying to deal with a multitude of problems. His pilot Captain Mack (Snoop Dogg) has never flown before and is afraid of heights, his partner, Muggsey (Method Man), is setting up a miniature casino and strip joint in one of the areas in the plane, and to top it off Nashawn's ex-girlfriend is onboard and less than happy to see him. In another part of the plane the family Hunkee is dealing with problems of their own. Aside from being the only white people on the flight, Elvis Hunkee (Tom Arnold)'s daughter is turning 18 and plans to allegedly use the newfound freedom by drinking and having sex, and his son has transformed in a matter of seconds from an exact duplicate of him to a loud wannabe gangster. Nashawn finally gets back together with his girlfriend, and the pilot seemingly dies, after eating mushrooms that the co-pilot uses to soothe his genital crabs. Nashawn then lands the plane safely, in the middle of Central Park. The pilot soon after wakes up, and realizes that he is on the plane alone.
