Charley Varrick

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller111 min

After knocking over a small-town New Mexico bank, Charley Varrick realizes the haul isn’t local money at all but a mob payroll, putting him between the sheriff and the men who want it back. Walter Matthau is Charley, a cool, resourceful thief scrambling to stay ahead of both investigators and contract killers. Andrew Robinson is among the dangerous figures closing in as Charley tries to think his way out of a robbery that suddenly got much bigger than planned. Don Siegel frames it in dusty back roads, modest storefronts, and the stripped-down mechanics of a man trying to stay alive with stolen cash in the wrong hands.
