Two friends and convicts, Joe and Terry, break out of Oregon State Penitentiary in a concrete mixing truck and start a bank robbing spree, hoping to fund a dream they share. They become known as the "Sleepover Bandits" because of their ''modus operandi'': they Tiger kidnapping the night before a planned robbery, then spend the night with the manager's family; early the next morning, they accompany the manager to the bank to get their money. Using dim-witted would-be stunt man Harvey Pollard as their crime scene getaway and lookout, the three successfully pull off a series of robberies that gets them recognition on the FBI's FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, and ultimately the reward for information leading to their capture is increased to $1 million.
