Go is a 1999 American crime comedy film written by John August and directed by Doug Liman, with intertwining plots involving three sets of characters . The film stars William Fichtner, Katie Holmes, Jay Mohr, Sarah Polley, and Scott Wolf and features Taye Diggs, Breckin Meyer, Timothy Olyphant, Desmond Askew, J. E. Freeman, and Melissa McCarthy in her film debut.
Ronna Martin (Sarah Polley), working overtime to avoid being evicted, is approached at work by Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr), asking if they can buy 20 hits of ecstasy from her, which they were hoping to buy from her co-worker, Simon Baines (Desmond Askew). Realizing she can profit from the deal, she approaches Simon's dealer, Todd Gaines (Timothy Olyphant), for the drugs but, as she is unable to pay, leaves her friend and other co-worker, Claire Montgomery (Katie Holmes), with Todd as collateral while she makes her deal. Before she can give them the drugs, Ronna grows suspicious of Burke (William Fichtner), a stranger with Adam and Zack who presses her for the ecstasy. In a panic, she flushes the drugs down the toilet and leaves. Ronna then steals aspirin to replace the ecstasy she disposed of, helped by her friend and another co-worker, Mannie (Nathan Bexton), who swallowed two of the pills without knowing their strength. Ronna gives 20 of the fake pills to Todd, and she, Claire, and Mannie make their way to a rave, where she sells other over-the-counter pills she stole as ecstasy and ends up with even more money than she owes. Todd soon discovers that the pills are fake and pursues Ronna, discovering her at the rave. Ronna flees with Mannie, but he is overcome by the drugs. Ronna leaves him in an alley and promises to return with her car, but Todd confronts her with a gun in the parking lot. Before he can shoot Ronna, she is hit by a car that speeds away.
