Ex-convict Johnny Clay assembles a crew of amateurs, all with clean records and none of whom know each other, to pull off a daring and carefully-planned $2M heist at a racetrack. The initial robbery goes like clockwork, but complications arise in the aftermath, when the money is to be delivered. Stanley Kubrick's third film, made while he was still in his 20s; The Killing established his reputation but is now often overlooked.
