Il decorato veterano Will Sharp, alla disperata ricerca del denaro necessario per le cure mediche di sua moglie, chiede aiuto alla persona meno indicata - suo fratello adottivo Danny. Danny, criminale di lunga data e dal carattere carismatico, gli propone invece un colpo da 32 milioni di dollari: la più grande rapina in banca mai effettuata a Los Angeles. Con sua moglie in condizioni di salute critiche, Will non potrà che accettare l’offerta. Quando, però, la loro fuga spettacolare va per il verso sbagliato, i due fratelli, in preda alla disperazione, sequestrano un’ambulanza con a bordo un poliziotto ferito che lotta tra la vita e la morte e l’esperto paramedico Cam Thompson. In un infinito inseguimento ad alta velocità, Will e Danny dovranno evitare tutte le forze dell’ordine messe in campo dalla città, mantenere in vita i loro ostaggi e cercare di non ammazzarsi a vicenda, il tutto mentre si danno alla fuga più folle a cui la città di Los Angeles abbia mai assistito.
