When the mob bails him out of jail after 12 years behind bars, gangster Hank McCain (John Cassavetes) gets roped into a complicated payback plan involving the high-stakes heist of a Las Vegas casino. But it isn't a job he can pull off alone. Britt Ekland co-stars as Hank's girlfriend, who pitches in to help her man even after the mob double-crosses him, with Gena Rowlands playing the part of Hank's former flame.
