action

General

The film is split into two storylines, both of which take place in the area around a small town in Montana . On the one hand, the preparation and execution of a bank robbery and, on the other hand, the chase between two police officers and their escaped prisoner are described. However, there are numerous points of contact and interactions between the actions throughout the film .

Table of contents

New Jersey bank robber Frank Salazar went into hiding in a small town in Montana after a series of bank robberies. There, however, he is already planning the next coup in the local bank. He wants to get support from four colleagues, but only has to post the letters to the other four before he is arrested by the two police officers George Denver and Bill Lonigan. Both now want to bring him back to New Jersey.

Meanwhile, the gang hired by Frank arrives in the town: Max Green - a veteran explosives specialist, Carlos Barrios - a weapons expert, Nick Bartkowski - a safe- cracker and Ray Forgy - a car thief . After initial astonishment and skepticism about Frank's non-appearance at the agreed meeting point (an old farm), the four finally decide to carry out the bank robbery without organizing it. However, this does not succeed without conflicts: The nervous Nick steals the gang's car in a panic and makes off with it. The other three then have to go on foot or hitchhike .

In the meantime, Frank is able to free himself from the custody of the two police officers and flees to the Montana forests. George and Bill try to follow him. But without success; Instead, George on the one hand loses his pants (including important content) in the river and on the other hand the abandoned car of Max, Carlos and Ray is discovered by accident and stolen without further ado.

In the meantime, the trio has a new problem, because Nick had an accident with the old gang car and was taken to prison. Although they have a great dislike for him, they decide to collect bail for his release, as they cannot open the safe without his help. Finally the four of them can pull themselves together again and break into the bank. In the subsequent chase, they first flee back to their hiding place at the farm in order to flee from there with another car.

Shortly afterwards, Frank, who has finally made it back to the hiding place on foot, and the police arrive there. Since the others remained undetected and there is no trace of them to be seen, the police assume that Frank carried out the robbery alone. So he is arrested again and sent to prison.

Carlos, Ray, Nick and Max are stuck again because their car is on strike (a running gag of the film) and hear about Frank's fate over the radio. The film ends with the gang - against Nick's will - deciding to pay Frank's bail with the stolen money.

criticism

The lexicon of international films judged that the production was "[e] benso amusing as well as exciting crook story" . The film transforms a "well-worn film theme imaginatively" .
