A thief is granted early parole from the State Pen in exchange for pulling off one last bank heist. But when things go awry, the ex-con and his wife must hit the asphalt and make their getaway – cash in hand and with both cops and criminals in pursuit – while navigating a series of deadly double-crosses that threaten to get them caught or killed. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star in Sam Peckinpah’s hard-nosed thriller, featuring a memorable score by Quincy Jones and a lean script from Walter Hill based on Jim Thompson’s novel.
“A great thriller. Peckinpah’s control of the escalating frenzy is masterly.” – Chris Peachment, Time Out Film Guide
