''30 Minutes or Less'' is an action-comedy, starring Jesse Eisenberg, AzizAnsari, Danny [=McBride=], and Nick Swardson, and directed by Ruben Fleischer, who also did ''Film/{{Zombieland}}''.
Two [[TheSlacker slackers]] named Dwayne and Travis want to make a hundred-thousand dollars quickly so they can hire an assassin to kill Dwayne's father, the Major, and get his inheritance money. Eventually, they come up with a [[SarcasmMode sensible]] idea: [[CrossesTheLineTwice order a pizza, have it delivered, kidnap the pizza man, strap a bomb to his chest, and force him to rob a bank or the bomb will detonate]]. The unfortunate delivery man, Nick, teams up with his best friend Chet, whom he recently had a falling out with when he confessed that he had slept with Chet's sister, to get the job done.
The plot is [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory very loosely based on the story]] of poor [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wells_(bank_robber) Brian Wells]], who was killed when the bomb went off unexpectedly. The cast and crew [[ImplausibleDeniability deny having prior knowledge to this incident]], possibly to avoid cries of “DudeNotFunny”.
