Val (Al Pacino) is released from prison after serving twenty-eight years for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up, and the two soon re-team with another old pal, Hirsch (Alan Arkin). Their bond is as strong as ever and despite their age, their capacity for mayhem is still very much alive. Bullets fly as they make a hilariously valiant effort to compensate for the decades of crime, drugs and sex they've missed.
