TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF
RICKY BOBBY
SYNOPSIS
Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) has always dreamed of
driving fast -- real fast -- like his father, Reese
Bobby, who left the family to pursue his racing
dreams. Early on, Ricky's mother, Lucy Bobby
worried that her boy was also destined to end up as
a professional daredevil on wheels.
Ricky Bobby first enters the racing arena as a
"jackman" for slovenly driver Terry Cheveaux and
accidentally gets his big break behind the wheel
when Cheveaux makes an unscheduled pit stop
during a race to gorge on a chicken sandwich.
Ricky jumps into the car and...so begins the ballad of
Ricky Bobby.

Tallageda Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby directed by Adam McKay (Anchorman) stars Will Ferrell
as Ricky Bobby, a Nascar driver with the motto, "If you ain't first, you're last". Ricky Bobby has it all. A
hot wife (Leslie Bibb), two smart-mouth sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, endorsements galore, and a
best friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly) who is willing to take second place by sling-shotting Ricky
Bobby into first place at every race. Ricky's world is put in a tailspin when gay French driver Jean
Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) comes and steals his thunder. Ricky and Jean crash, putting Ricky in the
hospital. He goes home and has to rediscover himself. This is Will Ferrell's funniest movie to date. You
will find yourself laughing from beginning to end.
