Luke Delson (David Arquette) is a professional carjacker who is currently residing in Los Angeles. After a call, he decides to go to Nice, to track a car for an oil oligarch, Constantine Charkos. The car, named RPM, can apparently drive without any kind of power source. Charkos, afraid that the mass production of the car would destroy his oil empire, offers him 1 billion dollars to steal it. But with the police detective on his tail, Biggerman, the man who built RPM, and also his sister Claudia (Famke Janssen), who wants the money, on his tail, he will find it very difficult to steal the car. Along the way, he meets Charkos' girl (Emmanuelle Seigner), who wants her car back (which Luke has stolen, but Claudia took it). She helps him steal the RPM in exchange for bringing her car back and the two eventually start a romance.
