2008
Phil and Clara Foster's attempt to rekindle their marriage with a special date night goes awry when they are mistaken for blackmailers involved with Mayor Diggs and criminal Terrence Stockton. After escaping kidnappers and realizing a police lieutenant is corrupt, they become fugitives, seeking help from an FBI agent who also mistakes them for criminals. To clear their names, Phil and Clara infiltrate Stockton's club, discover the blackmail photos are hidden in Mrs. Cardigan's apartment, and retrieve them. They arrange a confrontation at the Adler Planetarium, leading to a chaotic showdown where the criminals are apprehended, their innocence is confirmed by the FBI, and their marriage is revitalized.
