“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” will be racing back into theaters this summer to celebrate the comedy’s 20th anniversary. The film will return to theaters nationwide on June 28, June 30 and July 1. 

“NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) is a national hero because of his ‘win at all costs’ approach,” per the film’s official logline. “He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), are a fearless duo — ‘Thunder’ and ‘Lightning’ by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place. When flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) challenges ‘Thunder’ and ‘Lightning’ for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing’s top driver.”
