Storyline
Following a truck hijack in New York, five conmen are arrested and brought together for questioning. As none of them is guilty, they plan a revenge operation against the police. The operation goes well, but then the influence of a legendary mastermind criminal called Keyser Söze is felt. It becomes clear that each one of them has wronged Söze at some point and must pay back now. The payback job leaves 27 men dead in a boat explosion, but the real question arises now: Who actually is Keyser Söze? Written by Soumitra

editing done electronically at the time was horrible because all the good
editors were still working on film (which is much more difficult). Because
of this he thought about putting "Edited on a piece of s*** Steenbeck" at
the end of the credits, but instead settled for the more subtle line
"Edited on film." Tim Robbins was directing 'Dead Man Walking' at the time
and heard about John's idea, which sparked that film's credit ending of
"This film was edited on old machines." See more »
