Chicago, 1871. Famed bank robber Cody Plummer's prison time is behind him, but he's having a hard time staying legit. So when Cody hears about a train leaving for San Francisco with $1.9 million on board, he's tempted. And when he finds out that the same Pinkerton agent who put him away is in charge of security, he just can't resist. With the help of some old friends, Cody assembles a crack team of ageing professionals for one last score.

But this is no ordinary heist. The train Cody and his crew are planning to rob is the most secure, technologically-advanced train of its time. It can't be stopped, it can't be broken into, the safe can't be blown open - and it weighs 2000 lbs., so it can't be carried away - and there are fourteen armed guards between him and the money...
