Details

In the 1990 comedy film Nuns on the Run, two small-time criminals named Brian and Charlie are desperate to escape their lives of crime. However, their ruthless boss refuses to let anyone leave the criminal organization, resorting to violence to prevent their escape.

When Brian and Charlie are assigned to rob a dangerous triad, they devise a plan to double-cross their boss and keep the money for themselves. In a bid to evade both their boss and the police, they decide to hide at a nearby convent, posing as nuns.

Disguised in habits and eager to maintain their cover, Brian and Charlie endeavor to behave like proper nuns, facing several humorous challenges along the way. As they attempt to blend in with the other sisters, they find themselves drawn into the daily rituals and routines of convent life, all while trying to elude their pursuers.

With the boss hot on their heels and the triad also hunting them down, Brian and Charlie must navigate a precarious situation where they must maintain their secret identities while avoiding capture. As they become more involved in the convent's community, they learn valuable life lessons and discover unexpected friendships.

Nuns on the Run is a delightful comedy that combines elements of crime, mistaken identity, and religious satire. With its clever humor and endearing characters, this film offers an entertaining and lighthearted escape into a world of hilarious hijinks and unexpected situations.
