Plot

Duncan Fletcher is an average teenager in search of a date to his school's spring dance. While at the mall with his friends, he meets a girl, Hallie, who just happens to be the daughter of the President of the United States, George Richmond. Duncan, not realizing this, asks her to his school's dance. She accepts and gives him her address (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) and he replies by telling her he will pick her up at 7:00.

That night, Duncan asks his father if he can borrow the "company car", a red BMW E34 with his father rejecting. Duncan takes the company car anyway and goes to pick up Hallie, only to realize that he ends up at the White House.

When he enters, Hallie has Duncan meet her father, and Duncan is informed that there are limitations on where they can and cannot go, and that the Secret Service will be with them the entire time. Hallie says that they were just going to dinner and a movie, but at the movie theater, they sneak out and leave the Secret Service without a clue. Hallie and Duncan go to a movie and they get away with pretending to makeout. The go to a store called f/x and get new clothes. He uses his dads credit card and spends $730.16. After they go shopping, Duncan lets Hallie drive.

They encounter many obstacles throughout the night; Duncan's father's car gets stolen, confrontations at a dance club and a tavern, having a fight with each other, and then defending themselves from a local bully. Hallie's and Duncan's fathers are out looking for them throughout the city but ended up being arrested. They both manage to come home safe, but unhappy as they realize of how much they like each other after their first kiss.

At the end of the film, even though they never make it to the dance, Duncan is satisfied about the outcome of the date. President Richmond comes to Duncan's school to thank him for taking such good care of his daughter and allow Duncan to continue of seeing Hallie as well as establishing a friendship with Duncan's family. Duncan's dad gets a promotion after his employer is overjoyed of being able to meet and play golf with the The President. Hallie and Duncan are able to pursue a real relationship and happily goes on a second date. The camera zooms to reveal multiple SUVs and helicopters following them.
