A diverse group of strangers embark on a mad-cap pursuit of stolen cash in this 1963 epic comedy film directed by Stanley Kramer. Spencer Tracy spearheads an all-star ensemble cast that includes Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney and Ethel Merman.
A group of strangers come across a man dying after a car crash who proceeds to tell them about the $350,000 he buried in California. What follows is the adventures of those strangers as each attempts to claim the prize for himself.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was a critical and commercial success, winning a 1964 Academy Award (for Best Sound Editing) and being nominated for five others. It was re-released in 2014 by The Criterion Collection, who, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists and Robert A. Harris, restored much of the lost footage that was cut for its general release in 1963.
