Rex (Bruce Willis) runs a handpicked crew that pulls bank robbery jobs for hire. His latest client needs a mysterious metal case extracted from an underground vault in Cincinnati, so Rex brings on safecracker Frank (Michael Chiklis) to take out the bank’s security system. Something goes wrong when the branch’s alarm system alerts law enforcement. While they hold off the cops out front with a heavy show of firepower, Frank makes it out a back exit, where he is viciously ambushed. Frank recovers 10 minutes later, with no memory of the attack after taking a blow to the head.
