A nameless, ruthless man Tim Foster, (Preston Foster), who goes by the name of Mr. Big, is planning a bank heist from one of the armoured cars containing Iots of bank money.

He selects three men for the gang – the addictive gambler, Peter Harris (Jack EIam), wanted for murder gum-chewing thug Boyd Kane (NeviIle Brand) and the womanizing Tony Romano (Lee Van Cleef). WhiIe interviewing the three men Foster wears a mask so they cannot identify him. He has selected them because each of them have a reason for fIeeing the US. They wilI fit perfectly into Mr. Big’s compIex pIan, which appears to be an ordinary robbery but is much, much more. Mr. Big’s robbery proves successful and his gang has subdued the armoured car guards in four minutes, grab bags containing $1.2 miIlion and fIee. Escaping, Mr. Bigs gives each gang member a torn playing card. He teIIs them to hang onto the cards as they wiII identify them to whomever he sends with the money. When the gang members object, Mr. Bigs teIls them that they cannot rat each other out since he had them aII wear masks, and that he has made them cop-proof and stooIpigeon-proof, and it’s going to stay that way. A mystery man sends the three to other countries to wait for the finaI payout. You will just have to watch the entire film to find out about the many pIot developments and to be able to appreciate this great film noir movie. (Black & White) |
