When Lou, who has become the “father of the Internet,” is shot by an unknown assailant, Jacob and Nick fire up the time machine again to save their friend.

After the events of the first film, it is revealed that Nick and Lou used their knowledge of the future to enrich themselves – Nick by ripping off songs from artists before they were originally released, and Lou by capitalizing on advance knowledge of tech advances to appear as a technology guru. During a party in Lou’s honor, he is shot by an unknown assassin. Nick and Jacob use the time traveling hot tub to try to get back to the past to learn who shot him and undo the damage, but they inadvertently end up ten years in the future. Jacob reasons the assassin came from the future, which they must alter if they want to save their present-day environment.

The film stars Craig Robinson, Adam Scott, Rob Corddry, Chevy Chase, Gillian Jacobs, and Clark Duke. It is the sequel to the 2010 film Hot Tub Time Machine. The film is scheduled to be released on February 20, 2015.
