Can You Outrun 100 Police Cars? YouTuber MrBeast Puts Armored SWAT To The Test In $500k Stunt

Popular YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) has brought pure Grand Theft Auto action to real life, renting the entire Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Indiana to evade law enforcement in a massive stunt titled “Escape 100 Cops, Win $500,000”.

The rules of the game were simple but stressful. There was a $500,000 cash prize on the line, and each of the 5 contestants wore a backpack stuffed with $100,000. If the 100 Indiana State Police (ISP) troopers managed to catch them within 12 hours, the cops would split the prize money.

The video starts with pure chaos as MrBeast commandeers a massive white van, ramming it straight through a police perimeter to escape the trailing law enforcement machines. The chasing police fleet featured Ford Police Interceptor Utility cruisers alongside heavy-duty SWAT tactical armored vehicles.

Despite the use of trickery, hidden tunnels, and safe rooms to try to hide from the troopers, law enforcement officers were able to utilize their tracking gear and specialized vehicles to successfully track down and capture all five participants with 90 minutes left on the clock.

Reacting to the viral video, the Indiana State Police stated, “We had a lot of fun being part of this production and showing a different side of the Indiana State Police.” The agency also clarified that all the participating troopers did the stunt entirely off-duty, and the department was fully paid for the use of its vehicle fleet.

The video has expectedly gone wild. Just two days after it dropped on August 23, the stunt had already cleared over 52 million views and 1.4 million likes on the MrBeast YouTube Channel, which currently sits on a mind-blowing 514 million subscribers.
