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.
