Hot Pursuit is a 2015 American comedy film directed by Anne Fletcher and written by David Feeney and John Quaintance. Starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara, the film was released on May 8, 2015, by Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Rose Cooper is a San Antonio Police Department officer whose work ethic is too intense. Cooper's name has become a verb synonymous with screw-ups, following incidents such as overreacting when the mayor's son yells "Shotgun!", tasing him and setting him on fire when his alcoholic drink spills.
Captain Emmett informs Cooper that she will escort Deputy US Marshal Jackson, protecting Felipe Riva and his wife Daniella. Riva must go to Dallas to testify against notorious cartel leader Vicente Cortez. Cooper and Jackson arrive at the Riva home, when two masked men shoot and kill Jackson and Felipe while Cooper and Daniella are upstairs packing. Daniella grabs one suitcase, and the ladies flee in Riva's car. When Cooper pulls the car over, Daniella grabs her bag to walk away on her own, leading Cooper to handcuff herself to Daniella to make sure she's close to her.
The ladies are found by Cooper's fellow officers Dixon and Hauser. When Cooper recognizes a tattoo that reveals the officers as the assassins, the ladies pretend that Daniella is having her period so they can go to the bathroom and make their escape. They intend to proceed to Dallas, where Daniella can testify against Cortez.
The ladies learn that Cooper is now considered a fugitive that is fleeing with Daniella. A truck plows into the car, spraying hidden cocaine everywhere. Cooper becomes high on cocaine and gets the truck driver to drive them to a nearby clothing store. Dixon and Hauser show up, leading the ladies to stow away in a trailer hooked to a pickup truck. There, Cooper learns that Daniella's luggage contains many pairs of shoes, studded with fake diamonds, that were gifts from her now dead brother. After the vehicle is parked, Cooper searches the truck for keys, when the owner, Red, reappears with a gun. Daniella initially escapes, but comes back for Cooper and pretends to be her lesbian lover. She starts to uncomfortably grope and make out with Cooper, briefly distracting Red until he accidentally shoots off his finger. Cooper and Daniella grab another pickup truck and drive away.
