The Pretender

Former war-time Army buddies now students in college decide to rip off a Reno casino.

Petty crook and cop-killer Martin Rome, in bad shape from wounds in the hospital prison ward, still refuses to help slimy lawyer Niles clear his client by confessing to another crime. Police Lt. Candella must check Niles' allegation; a friend of the Rome family, he walks a tightrope between sentiment and cynicism. When Martin fears Candella will implicate his girlfriend Teena, he'll do anything to protect her. How many others will he drag down to disaster with him?

A spectacular heist starts to unravel as the crooks take it on the lam.

After being framed for a policeman's murder, a criminal escapes prison and sets out for revenge.
