Plot summary
Gary Tison is serving two life sentences for murder while his three teenage sons try to get on with their lives. Donny, the oldest, studies pre-law and is dating his high school sweetheart, Carol. Ray works as a farm laborer, and Ricky has no job. Convinced that another inmate intends to kill their father, Ray and Ricky decide to free him. Donny threatens to turn them in, then agrees to help, certain that the pair cannot break Gary out without him. The brothers drive to the prison, where Donny and Ricky hold everyone at gunpoint and Ray walks out with Gary and his cellmate, Randy Greenawalt. The group takes a car and drives off across Arizona, and police announce that the escapees are armed and dangerous. Donny dismisses the warning, doubting the fugitives would hurt anyone.
