Armored

Ty Hackett(Columbus Short), an armed service veteran, is now an employee of Eagle Shield security as a member of one of their many armored car transport team. Now the legal guardian of younger brother Jimmy (Andre Kinney), the Silver Star recipient now struggles to make ends meet. In a bar after an armored car prank heist played on Ty, his co-workers recount several historical attacks on armored cars. It is explained that Ashcroft (Fred Ward), their immediate supervisor, was once involved in an ambush, becoming the only survivor as he single-handedly killed 5 assailants. This story was topped by "a better" one of an armored car jacking in '88 where the guards surrendered the funds they were escorting in order to avoid the killing of a fellow guard concluding in the safety of all members and escape of the hijackers. The thieves were never caught and the crew speculates that the escort team staged the attack. After constant letters to foreclose on his home, Ty finds himself in need of additional money to help make ends meet. While contemplating this, Ty is approached by Mike Cochrane (Matt Dillon), his god father and co-worker, who has devised a plan to steal money being transferred from the Federal Reserve to the local banks. Ty turns down the offer. Upon arriving home that evening, he finds a social worker who explains that Ty's brother has missed most of the school year, and that the lack of proper care has forced the state to consider placing Jimmy in a foster home.    More>>
