Douglas Young's Synopsis

A group of five exceptional bank robbers have been able to successfully rob several banks with such perfect execution that the police do not have a single clue to capture them. These criminals treat each robbery as a business plan that works. First, they plan each job with clockwork precision and are extremely careful in not leaving any evidence behind. Second, they all lay low between jobs as not to bring attention to themselves. They decide to pull off one last heist that will be their biggest score by taking out an armored-car. Their meticulous planning of robbing banks is thrown out the window, because of the large amount of cash they will split. This may be the break the police have been waiting for, when this band of thieves finally make a mistake
