Plot

Richard Linklater moves sharply away from his usual '90s slacker generation setting with this slow-moving wild west drama. Ethan Hawke, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew McConaughy and Vincent D'Onofrio play the outlaws who've blown up virtually every bank from Texas to Canada, and now have their sights set on the multi-million dollar Federal Reserve express train. Based on a true story.
