  • Story:
    Harry Doyle (Lancaster) and Archie Lang (Douglas) are two old-time train robbers, who held up a train in 1956 and have been incarcerated for thirty years. After serving their time, they are released from jail and have to adjust to a new life of freedom. Harry and Archie realize that they still have the pizzazz when, picking up their prison checks at a bank, they foil a robbery attempt. Archie, who spent his prison time pumping himself up, easily picks up a 20-year-old aerobics instructor. Harry, on the other hand, has to waste away his days in a nursing home. They both have festering resentments -- Archie for having to endure a humiliating job as a busboy; Harry for having to endure patronizing attitudes toward senior citizens. The two old pals finally go back to what they know best. After successfully robbing an armored car, they decide to rob the same train that they robbed thirty years ago.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Filming was very difficult for the 71-year-old Burt Lancaster, as he had undergone a quadruple heart bypass operation two years earlier. There was some question as to whether he would even get insurance for this film.

Huge cards were necessary on the set to help Burt Lancaster's fading memory, and he also had problems to read those cards.

Some crew members said that Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas did not talk to each other off the set.

After the police fire at the train, Sgt. Deke Yablonski (Charles Durning) says, "What is this, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral?". Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas both starred in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957); Lancaster played Wyatt Earp, and Douglas played Doc Holliday in the classic western.

Red Hot Chili Peppers played themselves in the movie. They were big on the local scene but wouldn't crack the big time until the album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" in 1991.

Popular Dialogues

"Belle: I warn you, I know karate! Leon B. Little: [points his shotgun at her] I warn "you", I know Winchester!"

"[Harry Doyle has been summoned by his parole officer] Richie Evans: I got a call from the rest home today. She said that you were being a disruptive influence during lunch. That you refused to eat your spinach soufflé, and that you caused a riot. And that last night you made love to a woman. Harry Doyle: Do you make love to women, Richie? Richie Evans: Well, yes. Of course I do. Harry Doyle: Then how come when you do it, you're a stud and when I do it I'm a disruptive influence to society. Richie Evans: Because I'm only 28 and you're 72."
