Carter "Doc" McCoy is a career robber, currently in his fourth year of a ten year prison sentence at the Texas State Penitentiary. After his request for parole is denied despite he being a model prisoner, Doc, unable emotionally to endure life inside, asks his loving wife Carol McCoy to contact crooked businessman Jack Beynon, a man with political connections, to secure his release in return for he being "for sale" to Beynon. Beynon is able to get Doc released, the sale price being for Doc to plan and execute a robbery at a small bank branch in Beacon City, Texas where Beynon knows that $750,000 will be kept in the vault for the next two weeks. Rather than Doc using his own men for the job, Beynon directs that the only other people involved will be the men of his own choosing, Rudy and Frank. There are to be no casualties, which is all right with Doc who is not a murderer. After the robbery is completed and the monies divvied up accordingly, Doc and Carol will cross the border into Mexico to live out their lives away from capture. The robbery doesn't come off quite according to Doc's plan, with the result being Doc and Carol going on the run as they try to make their way into Mexico with their share of the loot. Various people are in their pursuit, some who know that they will try to cross into Mexico at one of the two major West Texas border crossings. Other bystanders get directly or indirectly involved in the proceedings, which affects what happens. Two of those people, seeming straight-laced couple Fran and Harold Clinton, get involved more intimately than would have been first anticipated. Though it all, Doc and Carol have to work through some of their own issues, which arise out of a revelation about Doc's release from prison. 【老片不死】推荐电影《亡命大煞星》（转载）。高级的娱乐片。《亡命大煞星》：昨日的动作经典（转载）。FIFF5丨DAY2《亡命大煞星》血色诗意的暴力史。萨姆佩金法的大成功。纯熟的叙事是关键。活下来是侥幸。 一场意外让达克（史蒂夫·麦奎因 Steve McQueen 饰）即将面临漫长而又痛苦的牢狱之灾，为了让丈夫免于受难，达克的妻子卡罗尔（艾丽·麦古奥 Ali MacGraw 饰）不惜牺牲色相，贿赂监狱的上层官员。果不其然，达克获得了特别假释，与此同时，警长拜伦（本·约翰逊 Ben Johnson 饰）告诉达克，作为交换，他必须帮他一个“小忙”——抢劫一间银行！ 迫于拜伦的淫威，达克只能就范，然而，他并不知道的事，拜伦的内心里早已经判了自己死刑，他根本就没有想让达克或者离开犯罪现场。和达克一起行动的是一位名叫鲁迪（艾尔·勒提埃里 Al Lettieri 饰）的男子，他的想法同拜伦不谋而合。在这样腹背受敌的危险状况之下，达克能否顺利完成任务呢？
