A chronicle of a day in the life of a Palestinian cab driver in Los Angeles, DRIVING TO ZIGZIGLAND, portrays the social struggle of the Arab immigrant in post-9/11 America. A film audition typecasts Bashar to play an Al Qaeda terrorist role. The utilities are due and Bashar has twenty-four hours to make the money. For the remaining hours left until tomorrow, an unceasing flow of passengers ride in Bashar's taxi and give the Arab cabbie the run around on issues that deal with suicide bombers, George Bush, Cat Stevens, the war in Iraq, music, and world geography. Bashar's quest to make the money is won until he realizes he has to choose between the Department of Homeland Security and his family.

One just got released from prison, the other just "accidentally" killed a prostitute, so what's a couple of down on their luck career criminals to do? Rob a bank and head to Brazil of course! What could possibly go wrong? Gunshot wounds, terrorists, crazed gang-bangers, crazy women, heart-stopping car chases and of course the law make "The Bank Job" the most explosive action title for April, hot on the heels of "Miami Vice" and "Crank"!
