Harry Doyle (Lancaster) and Archie Lang (Douglas) are just two old-time train robbers, who held a train at 1956 and were occupying for thirty years. They are discharged from prison after viewing their time and need to conform to a new life of freedom. Harry and Archie recognize that they still have the pizzazz when, picking their prison up checks they foil a robbery attempt. Archie, who spent his prison time pumping up himself , readily picks a 20-year-old aerobics instructor. Harry, on the other hand, needs to waste away his days at a nursing home. They both have festering resentments -- for being forced to endure a humiliating occupation as a 17, Archie. For being forced to survive patronizing attitudes toward senior 10, harry. The two pals go back from what they understand. They choose to rob the exact identical train that they robbed thirty years back, after successfully robbing an armored vehicle.
