The film starts with Bo and Luke driving around in their car, The General Lee, and being chased by cops. They eventually escape the cops but the car is wrecked. The cops are after the cousins as they are plotting to turn the town of Hazzard into a mine. The cousins stumble upon a building site when they crash their car and they decided they need to find out why it is there.

The General Lee finally makes it to the garage for repairs as Bo plans to race it in the big race a few days later where he is determined to beat the 4 times champion, Billy Pritchard, who has returned to race. The Mayor of Hazzard, Boss Hogg, played by Burt Reynolds, has bought and paid a great amount of money to bring Billy back to the race so he can get the whole town at the race track.

The Mayor has also set the Duke's family up by planting illegal goods on their property so he can seize their farm, the family later finds out that he has also seized other farms in the town.

The film was watchable, but had a very basic plot. I do not remember the series so cannot compare the film and characters to it. The story only seemed to be used to show off car chases and the driving skills of Bo and Luke. Bo and Luke are quite tasty so this is an advantage for the women that have been subjected by their men to watch it.

The character of Daisy, played by Jessica Simpson was funny and she was able to wrap people around her little finger by flashing her cleavage, oh how weak men are!

The characters were all played well and the supporting characters also added to the film and some of them were very funny. The part of the Grandpa was good and he was great when he sang at the end, it was
