<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summary should be between 400 to 700 words. -->
In ], low-level marijuana dealer David Clark is robbed of his money and stash, some of which he owes to his supplier and college acquaintance Brad Gurdlinger. Gurdlinger forces him to smuggle marijuana from Mexico to clear his debt. Realizing that attempting to get through customs alone would be suspicious, David hires his neighbors{{emdash}}a stripper stage-named Rose; local runaway Casey; and naïve, recently abandoned teenager Kenny{{emdash}}to pose as his wife, daughter, and son respectively, dubbing themselves the "Millers".


When the Millers reach the compound, they learn it is not "a smidge" as Gurdlinger described, but two tons. They are stopped by authorities twice, but get by on bribery and sheer luck. Due to the extra load from the marijuana on the RV, one of the radiator hoses breaks. The Fitzgeralds (consisting of father Don, mother Edie, and daughter Melissa), a family actually vacationing in an RV whom the Millers had encountered at the border, catch up to them and tow them to a repair shop. On the way, they learn that Don is a DEA agent, alarming them.
⚫ == Plot ==
David Clark, a small-time cannabis ] in ], Colorado, is robbed of his money and weed stash, some of which he owes to his wealthy ] supplier Brad Gurdlinger. After David is brought to him, Gurdlinger forces David to smuggle a "smidge" of marijuana from ] as a solution to clear his debt. Realizing that one man attempting to get through customs is too suspicious, he hires his ] neighbor stage-named Rose, a teenage ] and petty thief named Casey, and his 18-year-old neighbor Kenny, to pose as a ] family called "the Millers." When the Millers reach the compound, they find out that the amount of marijuana they were picking up is not "a smidge" but actually two tons. Because of the extra load of the marijuana on the ] that they are driving, one of the ] hoses breaks while going up a steep incline. A family they had met at the border, the Fitzgeralds—consisting of Don, Edith, and their teenage daughter Melissa—catch up to them and tow the Millers' RV to a garage. En route to the garage, David learns that Don Fitzgerald is a ] agent after finding his badge and gun in the glove compartment.


Kenny develops a crush on Melissa. After he reveals that he has never kissed a girl, Casey and Rose give him kissing lessons while David films; Melissa sees them and assumes they are in an ]ual relationship.
⚫ The marijuana turns out to be stolen from Pablo Chacón's ] where Gurdlinger had David pose as an agent of Chacon. The next day, when the Millers return to the garage to collect the RV, the mechanic is found tied-up and gagged with duct tape in his office and Chacón and his ] One-Eye are waiting for them and prepare to execute the family. They immediately tell Chacón that they are not a real family and that they did not know they were stealing from him. Rose is given a chance to prove that she is a stripper by dancing, and when she gets close, turns a steam vent onto Chacón, allowing the Millers to escape in the RV with Kenny behind the wheel. Due to Kenny's erratic driving, the RV veers off the highway and a ], hiding in a bowl of fruit, crawls up Kenny's leg and bites his testicle.


⚫ Gurdlinger misled David, as the marijuana is stolen from cartel boss Pablo Chacon. The next day, when the Millers head to the shop for the RV, Chacon and his henchman One-Eye are waiting for them. As he prepares to kill the Millers, they disclose they are not a real family and did not know they were stealing from him. Rose is given a chance to prove that she is a stripper by dancing, and when she gets close to Chacon, she turns a steam vent onto him. The Millers then escape in the RV, with Kenny behind the wheel.
Kenny has a severe ] to the bite, and the Millers head to the hospital near a carnival for ] celebrations. This further delays the delivery of the smuggled ]. During their wait, David and Rose begin to bond and Rose reveals her real name to be Sarah. The two of them scold Casey for leaving with a strange boy, Scotty P, which leaves Casey feeling amused and happy for the attention she did not receive from her real parents, who neglected her.


Due to Kenny's erratic driving, the RV veers off the highway and crashes. In the commotion, a tarantula that snuck aboard the RV in Mexico crawls up Kenny's leg and bites his testicles, resulting in him being hospitalized. This setback further delays the delivery of the drugs, but David renegotiates with Gurdlinger for a fee of $500,000 on the condition he arrives that night.
⚫ David renegotiates with Gurdlinger for a fee of $500,000 on the condition that it arrives that night. When Kenny is finally released from the hospital, David rushes him to the RV in a wheelchair and accidentally tips him over. In the ensuing argument, David inadvertently reveals how much he is getting paid, in comparison to how little he offered to pay each of the others. Casey, Sarah, and Kenny are left in disgust by the revelation, and so David leaves them behind at the local carnival.


⚫ When Kenny is finally released from the hospital, David rushes him to the RV in a wheelchair and accidentally tips him over. In the ensuing argument, David inadvertently reveals how much he is getting paid, in comparison to how little he offered to pay each of the others. Disgusted by the revelation, Rose, Casey, and Kenny part company with him. David drives away, leaving them at the local carnival, but later regrets abandoning them and returns.
Shortly after leaving, David regrets abandoning them after hearing ] on the radio and returns to the carnival. Casey confides in Scotty about how she felt like she was actually part of a real family. Scotty tries to sexually harass Casey, but is thwarted by Sarah and Kenny. David then arrives at the carnival, begging them to come back with him and offering each a full share of the profits. On their way to the RV, they encounter Edith and Melissa. In the ensuing conversation between the Millers and the Fitzgeralds, Kenny blurts out that they are smuggling cannabis. One-Eye appears and is about to shoot everyone, but Don comes out of his motor home and knocks him out cold. Chacón then appears from around the corner, with Melissa held at gunpoint and is about to kill them all; but is momentarily distracted by {{not a typo|4th of July}} firework display. David and Kenny then subdue him while he is distracted. Melissa and Kenny (with a newfound confidence) kiss, as do David and Sarah. Don arrests Chacón, but lets the Millers leave.


After David apologizes to the trio for not being upfront with them, they agree to rejoin him to get home. As the Millers make their way to the RV, One-Eye finds them but, before he can shoot them, Don comes out of his camper and subdues him. Chacon then comes around the corner with Melissa held at gunpoint and is about to kill them all; however, he is momentarily distracted by the 4th of July fireworks, so David and Kenny subdue him. Kenny kisses Melissa, prompting David to kiss Rose. Don arrests Chacon but lets the Millers leave.
David delivers the drugs to Gurdlinger, who tells him he is late and that their deal is off, but then admits that he had never intended to pay him at all. DEA agents interrupt the meeting, arresting Gurdlinger, revealing that David grassed them up. Don, the agent in charge of the raid, tells David that he will have to be placed in the ] until the trials of Gurdlinger and Chacón are finished. He then adds that anyone who was a witness to the crime will be put into protection, which pleases David. The Millers are then seen together in a suburban house with several marijuana plants growing in the back garden.


Gurdlinger reveals that he never intended to pay David for smuggling the marijuana. When David delivers it to him, DEA agents arrive and take him into custody thanks to David's tip. Don tells David that he and any witnesses of the crime will be placed into ] until Gurdlinger and Chacon's trials. Later, the Millers, now under witness protection together, are living in a suburban house with marijuana plants growing in the backyard.

We're the Millers is a 2013 American black comedy film directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber and starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Molly Quinn, and Ed Helms. The film's screenplay was written by Bob Fisher, Steve Faber, Sean Anders, and John Morris, based on a story by Fisher and Faber. The plot follows a small-time pot dealer (Sudeikis) who convinces his neighbors to help him by pretending to be his family in order to smuggle drugs from Mexico into the United States.

The film was released on August 7, 2013, by New Line Cinema through Warner Bros. Pictures. Despite mixed reviews, it was a box office success, grossing $270 million worldwide against a $37 million budget during its theatrical run. It was nominated for four People's Choice Awards, and six MTV Movie Awards, winning two.

Plot

In Denver, low-level marijuana dealer David Clark is robbed of his money and stash, some of which he owes to his supplier and college acquaintance Brad Gurdlinger. Gurdlinger forces him to smuggle marijuana from Mexico to clear his debt. Realizing that attempting to get through customs alone would be suspicious, David hires his neighbors—a stripper stage-named Rose; local runaway Casey; and naïve, recently abandoned teenager Kenny—to pose as his wife, daughter, and son respectively, dubbing themselves the "Millers".

When the Millers reach the compound, they learn it is not "a smidge" as Gurdlinger described, but two tons. They are stopped by authorities twice, but get by on bribery and sheer luck. Due to the extra load from the marijuana on the RV, one of the radiator hoses breaks. The Fitzgeralds (consisting of father Don, mother Edie, and daughter Melissa), a family actually vacationing in an RV whom the Millers had encountered at the border, catch up to them and tow them to a repair shop. On the way, they learn that Don is a DEA agent, alarming them.

Kenny develops a crush on Melissa. After he reveals that he has never kissed a girl, Casey and Rose give him kissing lessons while David films; Melissa sees them and assumes they are in an incestual relationship.

Gurdlinger misled David, as the marijuana is stolen from cartel boss Pablo Chacon. The next day, when the Millers head to the shop for the RV, Chacon and his henchman One-Eye are waiting for them. As he prepares to kill the Millers, they disclose they are not a real family and did not know they were stealing from him. Rose is given a chance to prove that she is a stripper by dancing, and when she gets close to Chacon, she turns a steam vent onto him. The Millers then escape in the RV, with Kenny behind the wheel.

Due to Kenny's erratic driving, the RV veers off the highway and crashes. In the commotion, a tarantula that snuck aboard the RV in Mexico crawls up Kenny's leg and bites his testicles, resulting in him being hospitalized. This setback further delays the delivery of the drugs, but David renegotiates with Gurdlinger for a fee of $500,000 on the condition he arrives that night.

When Kenny is finally released from the hospital, David rushes him to the RV in a wheelchair and accidentally tips him over. In the ensuing argument, David inadvertently reveals how much he is getting paid, in comparison to how little he offered to pay each of the others. Disgusted by the revelation, Rose, Casey, and Kenny part company with him. David drives away, leaving them at the local carnival, but later regrets abandoning them and returns.

After David apologizes to the trio for not being upfront with them, they agree to rejoin him to get home. As the Millers make their way to the RV, One-Eye finds them but, before he can shoot them, Don comes out of his camper and subdues him. Chacon then comes around the corner with Melissa held at gunpoint and is about to kill them all; however, he is momentarily distracted by the 4th of July fireworks, so David and Kenny subdue him. Kenny kisses Melissa, prompting David to kiss Rose. Don arrests Chacon but lets the Millers leave.

Gurdlinger reveals that he never intended to pay David for smuggling the marijuana. When David delivers it to him, DEA agents arrive and take him into custody thanks to David's tip. Don tells David that he and any witnesses of the crime will be placed into witness protection until Gurdlinger and Chacon's trials. Later, the Millers, now under witness protection together, are living in a suburban house with marijuana plants growing in the backyard.
