Plunder Road: Review

starstarstarstar
This taut low budgeter has Raymond masterminding an ingenious scheme to rob a train carrying gold bullion to the San Francisco mint. The holdup is successful, with the booty being divided into three separate trucks. Trucker Repp drives a van with a police radio as a safeguard. He comes to a roadblock, arousing suspicion because his radio is left on. He panics and is shot. Morris and Cook drive a freight truck supposedly filled with coffee. Stopped at a weight station, they are exposed because their weight is over limit. Only Raymond and Ritch make it to the Los Angeles destination. To disguise the gold, they have it melted down to be cast as bumpers and hubcaps for a Cadillac. On the way to a ship to take them out of the country, the car gets in an accident. The gold is discovered when the chrome scrapes off the bumpers, Raymond and Ritch are killed trying to escape. It is fitting for the film noir universe in which these characters exist that the elaborate safeguards the men create serve as the means by which they are caught. A grade-B gem. leave a comment
