help 30 Minutes or Less FAQ
What happens in 30 Minutes or Less?
Jesse Eisenberg plays Nick, a pizza delivery driver who is kidnapped and forced to rob a bank while wearing a bomb vest. He asks his former friend Chet, played by Aziz Ansari, to help him survive the scheme. [AFI Catalog](https://catalog.afi.com/Film/67568-30-MINUTES-OR-LESS)
Why is the film called 30 Minutes or Less?
The title refers to the pizza shop's delivery promise, which becomes part of the joke when Nick is given a far more dangerous deadline. The 2011 film itself runs about 83 minutes, so its title is not the movie's actual running time. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Minutes_or_Less)
Who directed 30 Minutes or Less?
Ruben Fleischer directed the 2011 action comedy, with Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Aziz Ansari, and Nick Swardson in the main roles. Sony Pictures released the film through Columbia Pictures. [AFI Catalog](https://catalog.afi.com/Film/67568-30-MINUTES-OR-LESS)
Is 30 Minutes or Less based on a true story?
The bomb-and-bank-robbery premise recalls the 2003 Brian Wells case, but the film uses fictional characters named Nick, Chet, Dwayne, and Travis. It turns that dark real-world resemblance into an action comedy rather than a factual retelling. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Minutes_or_Less)
