This kind of movie saves time. Like dhobi ghat, it is also a title of movie.
Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a slacking, marijuana fueled pizza delivery driver who has trouble completing the "30 Minutes or Less" policy that his employers issue, leading to a reprimand from his boss Chris (Brett Gelman). Nicks friend Chet (Aziz Ansari), a school teacher, discovers that Nick has slept with, and still has feelings for, Chets twin sister Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria). It is also revealed that Chet was the reason Nicks parents divorced. After a heated argument, the two end their friendship.
Meanwhile, two delinquents, Dwayne King (Danny McBride) and Travis Cord (Nick Swardson) are miserable living under the shadow of Dwaynes domineering father the Major (Fred Ward). Dwayne confides in a stripper Juicy (Bianca Kajlich) about his contempt for his dad, who is squandering the money that he won playing the lottery. Juicy says she can hire an assassin to kill Dwaynes dad for $100, 000 so Dwayne can collect the inheritance. Dwayne plots that they kidnap a complete stranger and force him to rob a bank for the hit money by strapping a bomb to his chest. After seeing an advertisement for the pizzeria that Nick works at, they order a pizza and wait for the driver to come to their hideout. When Nick arrives, Dwayne and Travis (who are wearing a gorilla and monkey mask) assault him and knock him unconscious.
When Nick wakes up, he finds a vest rigged with explosives strapped and buckled onto his torso. Dwayne and Travis tell him his situation: if he does not rob a bank in ten hours, they will detonate the bomb and demonstrating the bomb on a stuffed animal. Dwayne states that if he dares go to the police as they will be monitoring him and they end up sending Nick on his way. In his panic, Nick goes to a school where Chet is working and desperately pleads with him to help. After plans to deactivate or remove the bomb are dashed, Chet says he has no choice but to rob the bank. Still uneasy, Nick asks Chet to assist him. Chet reluctantly agrees.
After purchasing supplies for the robbery, Nick suggests stealing Chets family friends car so that the police will be unable to track the license plate number of Nicks own car. Nick then stops by his workplace to tell off his boss and to go see Kate and say some final words to her. Nick and Chet later arrive at the bank, hold it up, and obtain the money. However, an employee pulls the alarm forcing Nick and Chet to flee. After a car chase that ends up with Nick and Chet crashing their car, the two successfully evade capture by sneaking onto a bus. Nick calls Dwayne and tells him he has the money. Dwayne says he and Travis will meet him at an abandoned rail-yard to make the exchange. Dwayne and Travis go to a restaurant instead. When Dwayne asks Travis to possibly be the one to detonate the bomb if the time comes, Travis starts to become unsettled.
