Kim Basinger stars with Val Kilmer in this clever caper about a reformed master cat burglar who's black-mailed into doing one last job with an amateur partner-in-crime. After six long years in prison for a foiled bank robbery, legendary criminal Karen McCoy (Basinger) wants nothing more than to turn her life around. But her hopes are soon shattered: no one will hire her, she's stuck with a sleazy parole officer, and her ex-husband has told their son that she's dead. To make matters worse, crime lord Jack Schmidt (Terence Stamp) is forcing her to pull off a seemingly impossible $18 million bank job with the full knowledge that once she hands over the cash, she's history.
Now, with the help of an eager but inept would-be thief (Kilmer), Karen must use all her talent, ingenuity and technical wizardry to execute a seamless bank heist, outwit her enemies...and stay alive. It's Basinger at her most beautiful, beguiling - and dangerous - in this stunning, suspenseful adventure with an accent on excitement.
