Synopsis:

Seminal filmmaker Michael Cimino directed his first feature with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridgesbefore going on to direct such classics as The Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. Bridges was nominated for an Oscar for his role in this action-filled crime caper in which he plays Lightfoot, the naïve sidekick to the veteran bank robber Thunderbolt (Eastwood). The two revisit an old crime site after losing the loot the first time and decide to retrieve the stash. But some of the original robbers have different plans and it soon becomes every man for himself...

Seven years after a daring bank robbery involving an anti-tank gun used to blow open a vault, the robbery team temporarily puts aside their mutual suspicions to repeat the crime after they are unable to find the loot from the original heist, hidden behind a school chalkboard. The hardened artilleryman and his flippant, irresponsible young sidekick are the two wild cards in the deck of jokers.

With the help of an irreverent young sidekick, a bank robber gets his old gang back together to organize a daring new heist.
