Overview

Arizona Territorial Prison inmate Paris Pitman, Jr. is a schemer, a charmer, and quite popular among his fellow convicts — especially with $500,000 in stolen loot hidden away and a plan to escape and recover it. New warden Woodward Lopeman has other ideas about Pitman. Each man will have the tables turned on him.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A rogueish Western that treats crime and imprisonment as a game of wits, where charm and cunning matter more than morality. It's a cat-and-mouse drama shot through with humor and a weariness about men who can't help themselves.
