Bandits

Joe and Terry escape from the Oregon State Penitentiary using a concrete mixing truck. Joe takes advantage of the main gate's sluggishness, showcasing his resourcefulness and daring nature.

Post-escape, Joe boldly steals a woman's car to facilitate their first bank heist. This action sets the tone for their reckless and audacious criminal spree.

The duo carries out their first bank robbery where Joe uses a magic marker as a weapon against a bank guard. Their fearless approach highlights their determination and lack of caution in pursuit of their goals.

They find refuge in the garage of Cheri Woods, a young woman who is alone at home. Here, Joe shares his dream of transforming his uncle's hotel into a resort, igniting a new direction for their criminal endeavors.

Inspired by Joe's dream, Terry proposes a new strategy of kidnapping bank managers the night before their heists. This unconventional method leads them to adopt the moniker 'Sleepover Bandits', establishing their unique approach to crime.

They team up with Harvey Pollard, a dim-witted aspiring special effects artist who serves as their getaway driver. This partnership proves fruitful as they begin executing successful bank robberies.

Their string of robberies earns them a spot on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. With a $1 million reward for their capture, their criminal notoriety increases exponentially, intensifying the stakes.

Terry meets Kate, a housewife seeking companionship, while stranded on a bridge. This chance encounter intertwines their fates, as she drives him to their hideout, sparking new complications.

Kate becomes entangled in their criminal life, forming a complicated bond with both Joe and Terry. Her participation in the heists introduces emotional dynamics that challenge their partnership.

During a getaway, a tragic car accident leads to miscommunications among the trio. This pivotal event escalates tensions and complicates the relationships between Joe, Terry, and Kate.

Their exploits draw significant media coverage, painting them as kidnappers rather than mere bank robbers. This shift in public perception adds pressure to their criminal activities and personal dynamics.

The group prepares for what they plan to be their last heist. Internal conflicts bubble to the surface, creating tension that leads to a climactic confrontation.

An explosive confrontation takes place at the Alamo Bank as tensions reach a boiling point. The group's dynamics fracture, culminating in a thrilling climax.

In a shocking twist, it is revealed that Harvey orchestrated the entire series of events to facilitate their escape. His manipulation culminates in a fake shootout that they narrowly avoid.

In the end, Joe, Terry, Kate, and Harvey successfully evade capture and realize their dreams in Mexico. Their unconventional journey concludes with moments of intimacy and a celebration of their newfound freedom.
