Robert Redford stars in this playful biographical crime drama based on Forrest Tucker's real-life escapades. Having spent most of his life in and out of prison Forrest Tucker (Redford), now in his seventies, is not ready to retire from the life of crime. Tucker uses his charm and the subtle hint that he is armed with a gun, also aided by his accomplices (Danny Glover and Tom Waits), to carry out a series of daring bank robberies. As Detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck) comes closer to bringing Tucker to justice he cannot help but be captivated by the methods of the charismatic old man.
