Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, and Gary Sinise star in an off-beat, action-packed crime thriller from director John Frankenheimer. After six years in jail, and just one week before Christmas, Rudy (Affleck) and his cellmate, Nick, are set to be paroled. But when Nick's killed in a prison riot, Rudy assumes his identity and looks up Ashley (Theron), a mysterious woman Nick wrote to, but never met. The lie turns deadly when Rudy becomes entangled in a daring casino robbery led by Ashley's brother (Sinise).
