Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay marks the triumphant return of these two hilarious, slacker anti-heroes. The movie stars John Cho as Harold and Kal Penn as Kumar, two stoners who can't seem to get a break. Their last adventure found them travelling across country to find a White Castle hamburger in order to satisfy a weed-induced case of "the munchies". This time, the boys get themselves in trouble by trying to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now, being suspected as terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence. What follows is an irrevelent and epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild trip around the world that is an "un-PC" as it gets!

Deep in debt, Tyrone is desperate to bring back the crowds that used to come to his place. He decides to lay off his long-time blues singer Bertha Mae, and announces that he's hired a famous guitar player, Guitar Sam, for a one night only gig in order to save the club.Into town drifts Sonny Blake (Gary Clark Jr), a young man with nothing to his name but big dreams and the guitar case in his hand. Rejected by Tyrone when he applies to play at the Honeydripper, he is intercepted by the corrupt local Sheriff, arrested for vagrancy and rented out as an unpaid cotton picker to the highest bidder. But when Tyrone's ace-in-the-hole fails to materialize at the train station, his desperation leads him back to Sonny and the strange, wire-dangling object in his guitar case.
