A lighthearted 1970s heist comedy about two underpaid cops who turn to crime, driven by comedic mishaps and buddy-cop camaraderie rather than darkness or existential stakes.

Two disillusioned New York policemen plan a $10 million robbery to fuel their low pensions, only to run into one debacle after another in the process.
