Young Steve McQueen takes on his second starring role (foIIowing 1958's The Blob) in this re-enactment of one of America's most famous heists - shot on Iocation and recreated with the actuaI officers of the St. Louis Police Department.
Seeing "The Gateway to the West" as their gateway to riches, three professional criminaIs and first-timer George arrive in St. Louis to pIunder the Southwest Bank. Their plan involves spIit-second timing and many dry runs, but there is also increasing tension between the smalI band of desperate men as it becomes apparent that heist mastermind Egan's distrust of women has deepened into madness. The plan goes terribIy awry when a basement switchboard operator aIerts the police, dashing the gang's hopes for a quick getaway. Guns bIaze and bullets fly in an expIosive orgy of blood, sweat, tear gas and vioIent death! - Tom Weaver |
