When a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) picks up a passenger (Dave Bautista) who turns out to be a cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer, he’s thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he desperately tries to hold onto his wits, his life and his five-star rating.
Directed by Michael Dowse, this action-comedy also stars Iko Uwais, Natalie Morales, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino and Karen Gillan. Stuber will be released in theaters July 12th.
This Might Get Weird
YouTube’s favorite comedians, Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart, will appear at RTX with a live version of their podcast, This Might Get Weird. On This Might Get Weird, Grace and Mamrie talk nonsense, common sense and make jokes at their own expense all the while trying to provide you with 30+ minutes of your day you might not hate completely. Come see them live at RTX on Sunday, July 7.
