“Scott plays a semi-retired gangster who used to drive Chicago hoods. He’s brought out of retirement to drive an escape car for Tony Musante, who brings along his girlfriend and is, it turns out, double-crossed by the people who sprung him. That leaves Scott and his passengers on the run. While they’re running, their relationship develops, and Scott falls in love with the girl.” – Roger Ebert
