Screenplay by Scott B. Smith
Based on the novel by Scott B. Smith
Three guys stumble upon $4.4 million in cash from a crashed plane in the woods. They then try to run off with it. They’re almost immediately stopped by a sheriff.
The tension is created in part by Hank being the only level-headed character of the three men. He can try as hard as he can, but he never knows if Jacob or Lou will blow their cover, I.e. - “You tell him about the plane?” Unpredictable characters are a useful tool in creating suspense…
