Les Criminels

Les Criminels (1960)

Crime

Johnny Bannion, un spécialiste des hold-up va être libéré de prison où il a mis au point un coup qui doit rapporter beaucoup. L'idée lui a été suggérée par un autre prisonnier, Snipe, qui fait désormais partie de sa bande. A sa sortie de prison, Bannion est accueilli par un de ses complices, Carter. L'opération se déroule normalement, mais le comportement de Bannion n'inspire guère confiance et un de ses « amis » le dénonce à la police. A nouveau incarcéré, Bannion apprend que sa maîtresse, Suzanne, a été enlevée et finit par comprendre que l'« ami » en question n'est autre que Carter, et que celui-ci cherche à utiliser Suzanne pour l'obliger à révéler l'endroit où il a planqué le magot. Grâce à ses anciens amis, passés au service de Carter, Bannion sort de prison à seule fin de leur rendre l'argent volé dont il ne devra toucher, plus un seul sou. Prisonniers de Carter, Bannion et Suzanne parviennent à s'échapper mais sont abattus alors qu'ils tentaient de récupérer l'argent...
