Don Siegel directed this offbeat
crime thriller which stars
Walter Matthau as the titular
Charley Varrick.
Varrick is a small-time stick-up man who, in tandem with his partner
Harman Sullivan (
Andrew Robinson), makes plans to rob a small bank in New Mexico.
Varrick and
Sullivan are expecting a modest payday for a simple heist, but to their surprise they walk away with $750,000 in cash. But it turns out this isn't entirely good news; the bank was flush with cash because a number of well-connected Mafia chieftains have been using the bank to launder their ill-gotten gains, and they're determined to get their money back. Before
Varrick can figure out a way to return the money, sadistic hired killer
Molly (
Joe Don Baker) is on his trail, forcing
Varrick to outwit both the cops and the robbers if he is to stay alive.
