Sea. Air. Land. Minivan? As the embodiment of today’s extreme action hero, Vin Diesel has jumped out of speeding planes, skied down sheer cliffs, flipped cars 360 degrees and battled the world’s worst bad guys.
Mixing comic hijinx with Diesel’s trademark, no-holds-barred action, the result is a family adventure-comedy about a hard-as-nails warrior who meets his match, and finds his heart, in a family of out-of-control kids. Diesel redefines the term action hero as he makes his first foray into comedy with THE PACIFIER. Assigned to protect the endangered children of an assassinated scientist working on a secret invention, Shane Wolfe is suddenly faced with juggling two incompatible jobs: fighting evil while keeping house. As he adds to his usual arsenal of wetsuits and weapons the new tools of juice boxes and a minivan, Shane not only must defeat a world-threatening enemy but also wrangle teen rebel Zoe (BRITTANY SNOW), uplift sullen 14-year-old Seth (MAX THIERIOT) and outwit 8-year-old Ninja-wannabe Lulu (MORGAN YORK), simultaneously keeping toddler Peter and baby Tyler out of mischief, not to mention harm’s way. While drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering, den-mothering and driver’s education.
The screenplay is written by Thomas Lennon & Robert Ben Garant. The film is executive produced by Shankman and his Offspring Entertainment partner Jennifer Gibgot as well as Spyglass Entertainment’s Derek Evans, Garrett Grant and George Zakk. THE PACIFIER stars Vin Diesel, joined by a supporting cast of talented comedy veterans including Lauren Graham, Faith Ford and Carol Kane, with Brad Garrett, as well as young stars Brittany Snow, Max Thieriot and Morgan York as the Plummer children.

But now he takes on his greatest screen challenge to date starring as Shane Wolfe, a Navy S.E.A.L. whose latest do-or-die mission pulls him into the perilous, adrenaline-charged world of . . . babysitting. 
He’s truly a S.E.A.L. out of water, but this tough-guy loner soon realizes that he’s also facing the most important mission of his life: becoming part of a family and bringing them all closer together. Walt Disney Pictures, in association with Spyglass Entertainment, presents THE PACIFIER, directed by Adam Shankman (“Bringing Down the House”) and produced by Spyglass Entertainment’s Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman.
