Genres & Description

Action Comedy Crime Drama Romance

6.5 / 10

Two convicts, one charismatic (Willis) and the other a hypochondriac (Thornton), break out of prison and immediately start a bank robbing spree, kidnapping bank managers, spending the night with their families, then going with the managers in the morning to rob the banks. Using a dim-witted stunt man as their getaway driver and lookout, the three successfully pull off several jobs (even gaining the attention of a television show about American criminals), and become known as "The Sleepover Bandits." Things are going great until the bank managers begin to realize that the robbers are non-violent and therefore no threat to them or their employees, changing the game for the Bandits. To add to the complications, a bored & unhappy housewife (Blanchett) ends up in the hands of the criminals, and begins to have romantic feelings for both Willis and Thornton, causing a sticky love triangle.

Barry Levinson has always been a hero to me ever since he directed Rain Man, being someone with Asperger's myself. - @Saturday, November 25, 2017 2:59 AM

Bandits is a fucking classic. You watch this movie a few times and you actually start believing they could get away with the crazy shit they pull off in this flick. While today, I don't think real cops would be as dumb as they were portrayed in this film, it's more believable they could pull off the shit they did versus say Oceans 11. Great film. Well written. Great cast. Bruce and Bob are awesome! 5 stars! - @Tuesday, August 2, 2016 3:54 PM

What. Most people don't know is that the prison escape scene was filmed at Oregon State Penitentiary. And was not aloud to be watched because of that scene - @Monday, September 21, 2015 6:39 AM

Morally reprehensible.  She does not choose, and they do not issue her an ultimatum, saying, Choose, or leave.  It is written that when two lie down together, they become one flesh.  Adultery is when a man lies down with a married woman who is not his wife.  In the flesh :  A man may have more than one wife, but a woman is not to have more than one husband.  If you think about it, this implies that 'men who lie down with mankind as with womankind' (sodomites) are far worse than "lesbians".  .. (Technically, a sodomite is a male resident of sodom.  And sodomites were guilty of committing many wicked acts, not limited to acts with their own gender.  This word 'homosexual' does NOT appear in the Bible, kjv - and so it seems not wise to use such labels, for the Bible does not.)  Adultery, is really really bad.  Their behaviour is morally reprehensible, but I have to admit, this does not distract from the movie itself - the writing is astonishingly "good", and the movie is very entertaining. Surprised that the character played by Bruce Willis professes to get  "misty-eyed" listening to Bonnie Tyler's song, Total Eclipse of the Heart... Bitter Blue, maybe... But 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'??  ... That is very unbelievable.  But she believes him, nevertheless. - @Wednesday, April 29, 2015 7:27 PM
