At the age of 70, criminal Forrest Tucker (Redford) makes an audacious escape from San Quentin State Prison, and goes on an unprecedented string of solo bank heists that confounds authorities, including detective John Hunt (Affleck), and charm the public, including Jewel (Spacek) who finds herself attracted to Tucker despite his criminal background, and his lack of desire to give it all up…
