So this movie is about a cocaine dealing enterprise. I don’t know what they call themselves, but they have the delivery guys drive as DoorDash drivers, and then between the DoorDash deliveries, they deliver the cocaine. But first they have them drive around like DoorDash delivery drivers for a couple of months, so all the cops get used to seeing them delivering DoorDash. Then when they deliver the cocaine, they deliver it in DoorDash bags. They all drive the same type of black car, which is nondescript, and now almost never pulled over by the police. The secret of the car is not revealed until the movie. So in one scene, the boss tells the guy he wants him to film himself driving DoorDash every day and then upload the videos to their website so he can monitor how he’s driving. The guy says that the camera only takes a 256 gigabyte card, and then the boss plops down a 512 gigabit card, and then a one terabyte gig, one terabyte card.
That’s a strong setup for a crime comedy or dark satire because it mixes something extremely ordinary with something high-stakes. The funniest part is that the organization treats “looking like a legitimate gig worker” as a full professional discipline.
A few things that work really well:
- The “conditioning phase” where drivers spend months actually doing food delivery is believable and funny.
- The identical black cars create mystery and paranoia.
- The storage-card scene is good because it treats dashcam footage like sacred corporate compliance data.
- The DoorDash cover creates endless opportunities for mistaken deliveries, awkward customer interactions, and panic.
The boss character sounds funniest if he treats the operation like a Fortune 500 logistics company instead of a cartel.
Example tone:
“You think FedEx became FedEx overnight? No. Repetition. Predictability. Brand trust.”
Then he slams down the bigger memory cards like they’re weapons.
You could also build recurring rules for the enterprise:
- Never speed.
- Always deliver at least three real meals per shift.
- Maintain a minimum customer rating.
- If a customer reports missing fries, everyone gets interrogated.
- Drivers are punished harder for bad delivery etiquette than for losing cocaine.
The black car reveal could become a major running joke. Maybe everyone expects:
- armored luxury sedans,
- stolen police interceptors,
- or custom smuggling vehicles…
…but the “perfect invisible car” turns out to be something hilariously common, like:
- a black Nissan Altima,
- Toyota Camry,
- or Chevy Malibu.
The logic being:
“Nobody remembers seeing a black Altima. Ever.”
The dashcam-upload idea is especially funny because it turns the criminal organization into a bizarre remote-management startup. The boss reviewing footage at 2 a.m. could say things like:
“Why’d you take that left turn?”
“Traffic.”
“No. Anxiety. Traffic doesn’t make left turns. Weak men make left turns.”
Another good angle:
The drivers slowly become genuinely excellent DoorDash workers. Some customers start requesting them specifically. One driver becomes emotionally invested in maintaining Platinum status while also transporting kilos.
You could even structure the movie like:
- Act 1: recruitment and training,
- Act 2: operational success and absurd bureaucracy,
- Act 3: collapse caused by something tiny and stupid instead of the police.
Like:
- a customer tracking the wrong order,
- a driver obsessed with ratings,
- or somebody accidentally handing the wrong insulated bag to the wrong person.
It has shades of:
- Office Space
- Breaking Bad
- The Big Lebowski
- Pineapple Express
—but the “gig economy cartel” angle feels original enough to stand on its own.
