When megalomaniacal White Goodman (Ben Stiller), the owner of a trendy, high-end fitness center, makes a move to take over the struggling local gym run by happy-go-lucky Pete La Fleur (Vince Vaughn), there's only one way for La Fleur to fight back: dodgeball. Aided by a dodgeball guru (Rip Torn) and Goodman's attorney (Christine Taylor), La Fleur and his rag-tag team of underdogs launch a knock-down, drag-out battle in which the winner takes all.
