The tension begins as the armored car breaks down and the drivers, Tom (Christian Slater) and his Uncle Charlie (Ed Asner), find themselves stranded. Their radio transmission for help is intercepted, and before they know it they are surrounded by a suspicious crew led by Jim (Morgan Freeman). Without warning the crew opens fire.
Operating on adrenaline and ingenuity, Tom is able to flee by foot into the thigh-deep waters with the $3 million in tow. Jim, smart and determined, begins the campaign to find Tom and the money. The chase is on, the plot is twisting and the action non-stop.
