In order to escape from the agents, Sara makes all the slot machines show a winning combination.
The unforgettable slot machine scene involves the protagonists getting trapped in a casino. While trying to run away from the government agents, Sara and Seth protect themselves by using special powers such as telekinesis and telepathy. On their way, they are being hunted by a secret Defense Department unit who wants to seize their spaceship and their powers. The two aliens offer 15,000 dollars to drive them to an unknown destination, which turns out to be a mountain near Las Vegas where their spaceship crashed. Namely, the main characters of the movie Race To Witch Mountain involve Jack Bruno, an ex mob driver played by Dwayne Johnson, and, well, two not exactly teenagers but teenage humans looking aliens – Sara and Seth. But who says that a casino scene cannot involve teenagers as part of a science fiction adventure movie?
Also, they are often part of thrillers and action movies. Casino and gambling scenes often involve dark and serious, sometimes also shady, male characters.
