Horrible Bosses 1 🎥 2011 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Nick Hendricks, Dale Arbus and Kurt Buckman are friends working in Riverside, California, who despise their bosses: Nick works at a financial firm for the sadistic Dave Harken, who hints at a possible promotion for Nick for months, only to award it to himself; Dale is a dental assistant being sexually harassed by his boss, Dr. Julia Harris, who threatens to tell his fiancée Stacy that he had sex with her unless he actually has sex with her; Kurt enjoys working for the kind-hearted Jack Pellit at his chemical company, but after Jack unexpectedly dies of a heart attack, the company is taken over by Jack’s arrogant, cocaine-addicted son Bobby, whose apathy and incompetence threatens the future of the company.

At night, over drinks, Kurt jokingly suggests that their lives would be happier if their bosses were no longer alive. Initially hesitant, they eventually agree to kill their bosses. In search of a hitman, the trio meet Dean “Motherfucker” Jones, an ex-con who offers to be their “murder consultant.” Jones suggests that they kill each other’s bosses to hide their motives, while making the deaths look like accidents. The trio poke around Bobby’s house, and Kurt steals his phone. They next go to Harken’s house, where Kurt and Nick go inside while Dale waits in the car as a lookout, but Harken returns home and confronts Dale for littering, and then has an allergic reaction from the peanut butter on the litter.

Dale saves Harken by stabbing him with an EpiPen, but Nick and Kurt think Dale is stabbing Harken to death and flee, with Kurt accidentally dropping Bobby’s phone in Harken’s bedroom. The next night, Kurt watches Julia’s home, but she seduces and has sex with him, while Nick and Dale wait outside Bobby’s and Harken’s houses, respectively, to commit the murders.
