!Super Troopers
Introduction:
Super Troopers, directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, takes us on a wild ride with a group of Vermont state troopers. These highway patrolmen are not your typical law enforcement officers—they’re avid pranksters with a penchant for syrup and a knack for screwing up on the job.
Plot Summary:
- Meet Thorny, Mac, Rabbit, Foster, and Farva—the misfit troopers stationed in a remote area near the Canadian border.
- Their days are filled with pranks, traffic stops, and an affinity for syrup. But when budget cuts threaten their jobs and pit them against their arch-rivals, the Spurbury Local Police, they must straighten up.
- However, things take a dark turn when a dead body is discovered, and a possible drug ring surfaces. The super troopers spring into action, attempting to solve the crime, save their jobs, and outdo the local police department.
