They said there wasn't a man on earth who could pull off a bank job like this. They were right.

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 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.
