Film je zgodba o napetem lovu med kriminalistom in skupino tatov. Tatovi delujejo pod vodstvom izkušenega kriminalca Neala McCauleya, ki ga je zaradi njegove prebrisanosti in pazljivosti praktično nemogoče ujeti. Neal uspešno izpelje niz ropov bank, trezorjev in oklepnikov. Na drugi strani je Vince Hanna, uspešen kriminalist losangeleške policije. Hanna si obljubi, da bo McCauleyja in njegovo skupino spravil za zapahe. McCauley načrtuje še svoj zadnji podvig, vendar sredi napetega lova prekrši svoje pravilo in se zaljubi. Tako je postavljen pred težko izbiro: pobegniti ali tvegati vse, kar ima.
Hunters and their prey--Neil and his professional criminal crew hunt to score big money targets (banks, vaults, armored cars) and are, in turn, hunted by Lt. Vincent Hanna and his team of cops in the Robbery/Homicide police division. A botched job puts Hanna onto their trail while they regroup and try to put together one last big 'retirement' score. Neil and Vincent are similar in many ways, including their troubled personal lives. At a crucial moment in his life, Neil disobeys the dictum taught to him long ago by his criminal mentor--'Never have anything in your life that you can't walk out on in thirty seconds flat, if you spot the heat coming around the corner'--as he falls in love. Thus the stage is set for the suspenseful ending....
