Better than expected low budget production from prolific director Fred Sears. A group of convicts are sent to a work farm as a reward for good behavior. Three of them decide to take advantage of the relaxed security and pull an escape. They break out, steal a truck and head for the local airport. They plan to steal a plane and fly to safety. The aircraft they steal however has only half the fuel they need which forces an emergency landing. They hi-jack a car and head for L.A. One so he can collect 120 grand he has hidden there. The second so he can get even with his girl for dumping him. The third escapee had been tossed from the plane at takeoff. He is of course slightly annoyed with this course of events and vows revenge. Since he knows where the other two are going he heads off in pursuit. Several fist fights, a couple of murders, a gun battle or two and the police finally bring down the escaped cons. Though put together on an obvious shoestring budget director Sears gets the most out of cast and crew.
