After escaping from prison, Joe and Terry go on a crime spree, robbing banks through Oregon and California in order to finance their scheme for a new life south of the border. Unfortunately, things get more complicated when they meet Kate, who runs into them with her car. She joins the bandits on their cross-country spree, and eventually she steals something, too: their hearts.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Billy Bob Thornton developed his hypochondria after a real spider bite that left him hospitalized — method acting via actual trauma.
This bombed in 2001 between 9/11 and Oscar season, but predicted the 'gentle criminal' wave of Thelma, Good Girls, and Barry. Cate Blanchett reportedly did this between Oscar bait roles just to have fun.
