Plot
Jack Foley, a "gentleman bank robber," arranges a break-out from a Florida jail. The plan is interrupted by shotgun-toting Federal Marshal Karen Sisco. The pair end up in the trunk of the getaway car, where they find they have a mutual interest: classic Hollywood movies.{{cite news|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/01/the-elmore-leonard-paradox/355734/|title=The Elmore Leonard Paradox|last=Christopher Orr|author-link=Christopher Orr (film critic)|date=22 December 2013|work=The Atlantic|publisher=Atlantic Media|access-date=1 January 2014}}
