Two men, a hearse, a corpse, 5 gallons of gas... and a promise.

Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a genius who knew Elvis and the Stones and led the Byrds. As fame and fortune came within his grasp, he died unexpectedly in 1973.

When Gram's best friend Phil (Johnny Knoxville - Jackass Number Two) hears the news, he gets busy to fulfill an old promise - to cremate his buddy in the majestic desert wilderness of Joshua Tree. The plan looks great but there are snags...he has to steal the body from under noses of the authorities, then evade the police, Gram's father and an avenging ex-girlfriend, with only a stoned hippy for company and driving a psychedelic hearse! With a fantastic supporting cast including Robert Forster (Lucky Number Slevin), Christina Applegate (Anchorman) and Michael Shannon (Bad Boys II). Grand Theft Parsons is a classic road movie about one of the most extraordinary chases of modern times.
