Warren Beatty plays a security expert who engineers an elaborate bank robbery and then goes on the run with the loot. So there's a heist and a chase. And a giggly blonde hooker played by Goldie Hawn.  And a guy who always wears sunglasses. And a pompous bank president played by Goldfinger himself. And a few trains. And a bunch of safe-deposit keys. And a couple of suitcases. And some baseballs filled with heroin. A slick, diverting caper in which Brooks lets the tension build up slowly and only the people who deserve to be robbed get robbed. Toward the end, it's just Beatty trying to make his escape, on foot, through city streets and tunnels and railroad yards, and out into the country, into the snow - a coincidental reference to "McCabe & Mrs. Miller", released the same year. Quincy Jones composed the pulsing, off-kilter musical score. AKA "Dollars".
