Pineapple Express 🎥 2008 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Dale Denton, a process server and marijuana enthusiast, visits his drug dealer Saul Silver. Dale and Saul smoke the rare “Pineapple Express” strain together before Dale leaves to resume working. He arrives at the home of local drug lord, Ted Jones, and witnesses Ted and police officer Carol Brazier shoot and kill a rival Chinese gangster. While fleeing the scene, Dale causes a commotion and throws his roach containing Pineapple Express. Ted identifies the strain and sends his henchmen Budlofsky and Matheson to another drug dealer, Red, who tells them about Saul.

Back at Saul’s apartment, Dale worries that Ted could trace the roach as only Red and Saul have the Pineapple Express strain. Dale and Saul decide they must flee the city. They attempt to hide in the woods where Dale’s car battery dies. Dale and Saul visit Red, who after a fight, reveals that Ted knows who they are and intends to kill them. Budlofsky and Matheson torture Red for information and both shoot him in the abdomen. Believing Dale’s high-schooler girlfriend Angie to be in danger, he and Saul travel to her home where they are removed at gunpoint by her father. Budlofsky and Matheson arrive at the house but Dale and Saul depart before they can be captured and Angie’s family goes to a motel.

Dale and Saul then sell Pineapple Express to high school students to raise bus fare, but Dale is arrested by police officer Bobbra. Dale tells Bobbra that he witnessed Officer Brazier and Ted murder a man. Bobbra believes him and says she will investigate; Saul, thinking he is rescuing Dale, hijacks the police car. Brazier hears on the police radio of Dale’s arrest and pursues Dale and Saul in a high-speed chase but they escape. After Dale and Saul argue and split up, Saul is kidnapped and held in Ted’s lair.
