Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997)
Plot.
Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

Wiki.
Knockin' on Heaven's Door is a 1997 German crime tragicomedy film by Thomas Jahn, starring Til Schweiger, Moritz Bleibtreu, Jan Josef Liefers and Rutger Hauer. Its name derives from the Bob Dylan song which is also on the film's soundtrack. It was entered into the 20th Moscow International Film Festival where Til Schweiger won the Silver St. George for Best Actor.
In the film, two hospital patients with terminal diseases befriend each other. Wishing to see the sea before it is too late for them, they steal a roadster and start their quest. After several delays and criminal misadventures, they finally reach the ocean's shore. One of them dies soon after, while the survivor gazes at the ocean.
