When terrorists rob a Bank… all hell is let loose!

CrimeActionThriller

Womanizing thug Klett is sprung from the courthouse by two accomplices, then sets about planning the big heist of a local bank, equipped with a cache of high-powered weapons he's acquired from an American army outpost. Together with his faithful protégé, who reluctantly on-boards his young girlfriend and her AWOL brother, the quartet bumble their way through the supposedly full-proof plan that aims to deliver them a cool million in cash and a new life in Australia. Predictably, things deteriorate quickly at every turn.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching descent into the chaotic aftermath of a botched heist. It’s a gritty, desperate plunge into criminal failure, where every step forward leads to more brutal, bloody consequences. This is pure, unadulterated 70s crime cinema.
