Une bande de braqueurs, guidée par leur chef nommé « L'Uruguayen », se lance sur un coup judicieux : le cambriolage d'une grande banque internationale à Valence. Leur plan est planifié : maîtriser les otages, dévaliser un maximum de coffres-forts puis s'échapper avec les butins par un tunnel souterrain qui les mènera à une station de métro désaffectée. Leur casse est réussi mais les hommes découvrent que leur unique voie de sortie est inondée par une pluie torrentielle. Prisonniers de la banque, les hommes découvrent que l'un des coffres contient plus de l'argent : il s'agit d'un disque dur contenant des informations compromettantes appartenant à Gonzalo Soriano, un ancien membre du gouvernement espagnol plongé dans le coma. Alors que les négociations s'amorcent avec les forces de l'ordre, les voleurs s'aperçoivent que leur braquage pourrait avoir des conséquences politiques importantes.

Ty Hackett (Columbus Short), an armed service veteran, is now an employee of Eagle Shield security, as a member of one of their many armored car transport teams. Now the legal guardian of younger brother Jimmy (Andre Kinney), the Silver Star recipient struggles to make ends meet. In a bar after an armored car prank heist played on Ty, his co-workers recount several historical attacks on armored cars. It is explained that Ashcroft (Fred Ward), their immediate supervisor, was once involved in an ambush, becoming the only survivor as he single-handedly killed five assailants. This story was topped by "a better" one of an armored car jacking in '88, wherein the guards surrendered the funds they were escorting in order to prevent the killing of a fellow guard; it concluded in the safety of all the guards and escape of the hijackers. The thieves were never caught, and the crew speculates that the escort team staged the attack.
