Charley Varrick
When he runs out of dumb luck, he always has genius to fall back on!
Directed by Don Siegel
Produced by Universal Pictures
A clever, tense crime thriller about a small-time crook outmaneuvering both law enforcement and the mob through cunning rather than firepower.
Charley Varrick robs a bank in a small town with his friends, but instead of obtaining a small amount of money, they discover they stole a very large amount of money belonging to the mob. Charley must now come up with a plan to not only evade the police but the mob as well.
