Crime comedy caper directed by Bill Forsyth, starring Burt Reynolds as Ernie, an ageing professional burglar who takes on a young apprentice, Mike (Casey Siemaszko). It soon becomes clear to Ernie that Mike's approach to living a life of crime is very different to his own: while Ernie plays it safe and sticks firmly to the rules he has set himself over a lifetime's experience, Mike - though undeniably skillful and extremely bold - is both reckless and impulsive. But can this unlikely pair overcome their differences and work together to pull off biggest heist they've ever done?
