Charley Varrick (1973) - Action, Charley Varrick (Matthau) is a crop-duster and former stunt pilot. The aging trailer-park dweller has clearly not been too successful. Together with his wife Nadine and co-conspirators Al Dutcher and Harman Sullivan (Andrew Robinson), a heavily disguised Varrick robs a bank in the rural crossroads community of Tres Cruces, New Mexico. During the robbery, two policemen and Dutcher are killed. Nadine drives the get-away car and eludes the police, but she too has been mortally wounded and dies shortly thereafter. Varrick distracts the police from their chase of him by blowing up the getaway car with black powder and gasoline, with his wife's body inside. The ploy works, and Varrick and Sullivan escape.
When they count the stolen money that evening, Varrick and Sullivan find themselves with $765,118 — it is far more money than they expected at a small county bank. A television news broadcast reports that only $2,000 was stolen, according to the bank. Varrick explains to Sullivan that the bank must have been involved in a mob money laundering operation and that the mafia will pursue them more relentlessly than the police. Varrick tells Sullivan that they can only evade the mafia by laying low and not spending the money for the next three to four years. The young, headstrong Sullivan will hear none of it, argues with Varrick, and plans to spend the money on the luxuries he craves. (wikipedia)
