Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton play a modern-day Butch and Sundance in this thoroughly enjoyable (if utterly nonsensical) comedy drama from Barry Levinson. The stars portray charismatic bank robbers who earn the nickname of "sleepover bandits" because of their habit of casually kidnapping bank managers the night before a job. However, their modus operandi is complicated when they both fall for a woman (Cate Blanchett) they take along for the ride. The film is at its best when Willis and Thornton are exchanging witty banter and the two actors, sporting increasingly laughable hairpieces, certainly enjoy themselves.

After escaping from prison, Joe and Terry go on a crime spree, robbing banks through Oregon and California in order to finance their scheme for a new life south of the border. Unfortunately, things get more complicated when they meet Kate, who runs into them with her car. She joins the bandits on their cross-country spree, and eventually she steals something, too: their hearts.
