"You like money. You've got a great big dollar sign there where most women have a heart."
Ex-convict Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) has spent five years planning his next job, and now he's out he's intent on enacting it. A scheme to steal $2,000,000 from a racetrack. Planned meticulously, the only flaw is human greed, a gang member's cheating wife, and her ruthless boyfriend. From the start of the seventh race the plan starts to go awry...
We follow the scheming and the job from all angles, seeing the problems as they arise and the ignorance of the protagonists to these developments. A great noir, well acted and directed, by a soon to be star director.
