Synopsis:
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Hackett (Columbus Short), Byrne (Laurence Fishburne), Dubois (Skeet Ulrich), and Pennington (Amory Nolasco) all work for a security company. They are around the same age, share similar interests, and they all face a serious problem: lack of money. Their job is to drive an armed armored vehicle loaded with millions in cash every day. With such easy access to money, the group begins to entertain some criminal ideas. Although Hackett, who has just started working there, isn't too keen on the idea, he eventually joins the plan under pressure and persuasion from the others. Their target is to rob $42 million in cash that they are responsible for transporting.
With the help of an old friend and expert in this field, Quinn (Jean Reno), things go smoothly at first. However, on the day of the operation, an unexpected event disrupts their carefully laid plans: someone finds out about their entire robbery plan! Who is this person? How much does he know? Did he find out by accident, or was it deliberately arranged by someone trying to take everything for themselves? This seemingly unbreakable brotherhood starts to crack due to this unexpected turn of events...
