Plot

Thomas Murphy takes an eclectic bag of misfits to an Elvis Convention in Las Vegas, but the boys aren't just there to honour the King they have some business to attend to, namely relieving the casino of its entire takings. Using the electrical expertise of Michael Zane the men briefly find themselves 3.2 million dollars better off but greed gets the better of them (along with a sexy waitress and her kleptomaniac young son) and they, rather than the law, become their own worst enemy. 3000 miles To Graceland is a quirky, offbeat action thriller that plays very much like a 'B' movie (deliberately or not, I couldn't quite tell). Nonsense, but weirdly entertaining.
