Quick Change is a 1990 comedy film directed by Bill Murray and co-directed by Howard Franklin. The film stars Bill Murray as Grimm, Geena Davis as Phyllis, and Randy Quaid as Loomis. It is based on the book of the same name by Jay Cronley. The film tells the story of three robbers who successfully heist a bank in New York City. Grimm, who disguises himself as a clown for the heist, is accidentally locked inside the bank when Phyllis and Loomis escape. The rest of the movie follows the trio's attempts to get out of the city and flee to Fiji, encountering various obstacles along the way.

As the film opens, Grimm and his partners Phyllis and Loomis are in the process of robbing a bank in downtown Manhattan. Grimm, disguised as a clown, detonates a smoke bomb and the trio make off with $1 million in cash. However, things quickly go awry when they are discovered by the police and the trio is forced to flee on foot.

Grimm and Phyllis then board the city bus heading for the airport, but when they are unable to get off at their stop due to a traffic jam, Loomis leaves them behind as he heads off to get their plane tickets. Grimm and Phyllis are then forced to embark on a desperate journey across the city, evading police officers, dealing with a drunken bus driver and a colorful cast of eccentric characters.

Among the characters encountered by Grimm and Phyllis are a master of disguise played by Tony Shalhoub, a cab driver played by Stanley Tucci, a bank president played by Jason Robards, and a group of sword-wielding ninja bike couriers. Along the way, they also navigate a tense standoff with the police and a series of other dangerous situations.

Throughout the movie, the relationship between Grimm and Phyllis is tested, as they struggle to keep their cool amid the chaos and uncertainty of their situation. Meanwhile, Loomis faces his own challenges as he tries to evade both the police and his own personal demons.

Despite the many obstacles they face, however, the trio ultimately manages to pull off their escape and make it to the airport in time to catch their flight to Fiji. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about themselves and each other, and come to appreciate the value of true friendship and loyalty.
