Plot [edit]

In West Texas, brothers Toby and Tanner Howard rob 2 branches of the Texas Midlands Bank. Though the robberies are well-planned, Tanner'southward wild nature leads him to take unnecessary risks, frustrating Toby. Back at their family ranch, they bury their getaway car in a pit with a backhoe. Their mother has died later a long illness, leaving their ranch in debt considering of a reverse mortgage provided by the Texas Midlands Banking concern which would lead to foreclosure if not settled. Meanwhile, oil has been discovered on their land, and Toby is determined to ensure a comfortable life for his estranged sons.

Two Texas Rangers, Marcus Hamilton and Alberto Parker, are assigned to the case. Hamilton, who is close to retirement, investigates the robberies and chop-chop determines the brothers' methods and personalities. Meanwhile, Tanner robs some other bank while Toby unknowingly waits at a nearby diner. They and so have the stolen money to an Indian casino in Oklahoma to be laundered, where Toby has the casino convert their gambling winnings into a check made out to the Texas Midlands Banking company. With untraceable funds and gambling as a cover for how they were acquired, the brothers caput back to Texas.

Hamilton and Parker stake out another co-operative of the Texas Midlands Banking concern, but find nothing. Hamilton figures a pattern to the banking company robberies and determines the next target, and he and Parker head to the site of the adjacent robbery. Pressed for time, the brothers go along with the heist despite the banking company being crowded. A shootout ensues when a security baby-sit and an armed noncombatant fire at the brothers, causing Tanner to kill both of them. Later, Toby is shot as they are ambushed by a posse of armed townspeople exterior the bank.

The brothers race out of boondocks with the local posse in pursuit. Later gaining some distance, Tanner stops and fires an automated weapon at the posse, with his burn down superiority forcing them to retreat. The brothers then carve up upwards; Toby takes the money using another vehicle, while Tanner creates a diversion. He draws the lawmen to a desert mount ridge where he takes potshots at the police with a burglarize, killing Parker in the process. Distraught, Hamilton uses a local resident's knowledge of the area to circle behind Tanner and fatally shoot him.

Simultaneously, Toby manages to laissez passer through a police checkpoint without incident, and launders the stolen cash at the casino, where he sees the news report of his brother's death. He takes the casino'due south check to the bank just in time to avert the ranch's foreclosure and deeds the ranch into a family trust.

Following his retirement, Hamilton visits his onetime function and learns that Toby has been cleared as a suspect, as his record is clean and he has no motive since his new oil wells earn more than in a month than the total stolen in all of the robberies together. The money from the ranch's oil wells is deposited at the Texas Midlands Bank, which refuses to co-operate with the investigation for fear of losing management of the family'south trust fund. Despite the lack of evidence, Hamilton remains certain that Toby was indeed the second bank robber.

Hamilton confronts Toby at the ranch, and wishes to know the reason behind the robberies. Toby explains that he has resolved to non let poverty affect his sons similar information technology affected him and Tanner. Hamilton tells Toby he holds him responsible for the death of Parker, and the tension in their conversation builds equally a clear prelude to an impending vehement shootout. Only they are interrupted when Toby's ex-wife and children arrive. As Hamilton departs, Toby suggests they run into once more soon to "finish the conversation" and "bring yous some peace". Hamilton replies that he would like to meet again and maybe he will "bring some peace" to Toby before leaving.[vii]
