It all starts when Joe Blake (Bruce Willis) steals a cement truck inside a prison while Terry Collins (Billy Bob Thornton) jumps in the passenger seat! They both break through the prison gates! and are free at last!
Terry Collins, a very worried man, which always thinks hes sick, or dying of something starts to plan what they are going to need! and top of the list was money.....So Joe finds the nearest bank and robs it using a magic marker by sticking it behind the guards head, and asking the guard for his gun! the guard assuming its a gun, hands over his own gun. They then steal the money and getaway!
The front man....Harvey Pollard (Troy Garity) which is a man who loves creating his own stunts! he is then hired by Joe Blake to be there front man! who organises where Joe, and Terry stay in between bank robberies, and also provides them with food etc etc. They then organise there next big hit! By planning on staying at the bank managers house overnight, and then going to the bank at the morning to steal all the money.
After this hit they split up for a couple of weeks, and plan to meet up several weeks later, as Terry is trying to go to the meeting point, his car breaks down. So he tries to steal Kate Wheelers (Cate Blanchett) car but sadly fails as Kate is having some sort of break down in her life! Anyway as it continues Kate ends up joining them as she plays with Joes and Terrys hearts.
They plan to set up there own business in a different country using the money they have stolen. So they carry on staying at bank managers homes for a night then robbing the bank the following morning. But after a silly move by the front man they almost get caught by the police! So they decide they no longer need him, as they have kate!
Then Joe finds Terry and Kate one night in the local pub! and they both end up fighting, Kate cant stand this and walks away leaving both of them.
Joe and Terry then work out there one last big score! which will get them enough money and will also get the police off there backs! so they phone Kate and the front man for help! Joe and Terry end up in the bank pointing guns at each other with police surrounding the bank.....how do they get out??
They end up shooting each other, and what it looks like they both die, but who is in the ambulance....the front man! who has made the best stunt ever! in making Joe and Terry look like they killed each other when really they are both still alive, and waiting for the next part of their plan......The front man and his girlfriend playing doctors put Joe and Terry in bodybags and take them away! but the front man has one last stunt....blowing up the ambulance making it look like an accident, with no remands of either the doctors or Joe and Terry.....
