《越战猎鹿人》导演迈克尔．西米诺初露锋芒的处女作。故事有趣，角色鲜明，既有动作又有笑料，娱乐效果相当高。克林特．伊斯特伍德饰演抢匪冲天炮，他跟乔治．甘迪等搭档枪劫政府的保险箱，但事成之后赃款却神秘失踪。冲天炮被怀疑暗中侵吞这笔钱，只好展开逃亡。外号飞毛腿的流浪汉杰夫．布里奇斯救了他，两人成为新搭档。后来冲天炮终于向老朋友澄清误会，飞毛腿趁机建议他们重新组合起来再抢劫同一保险箱，只是他们这次逃走时遭遇了麻烦。四位主角演来各有特色，其中以杰夫．布里奇斯最抢镜头，曾提名奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。

In the near future Steve takes a job as a tow truck driver that has to battle a gang of baddies led by Nelson.

Nicole is a beautiful, rich and neurotic woman who lives in a mansion alone with her maids and chauffeur. But without someone to really account to, Nicole begins to spin out of control. Her decadent and lustful life leads to murder, despair and, ultimately, mournful regret in this cautionary tale for the idle rich who have too much money and time.
