The Story:Two directionless
musicans, a Chicano guitarist (Cheech Marin) and a White drummer
(Tommy Chong), meet up in a chance encounter and embark on a
series of odd adventures, including being the unwitting
partcipants of a bizarre marijuana smuggling plot.
They go in search of some dope and are
accidentally deported to Mexico where in their desperation to
get home they agree to drive a van back to the States so they
can get back in time for a gig they are due to play. Unaware of
the properties from which the van is constructed they make their
way back having aquired a couple of female hitch-hikers whilst
all the time avoiding the cops whom they are not even aware are
following them.
Up in Smoke is the first of the Cheech and
Chong movies and probably the best overal.
