Plot summary
Sven Sorenson, known as The Swede, runs the county jail and has prisoners put to death outside the law. The town fears and hates him, except his twin daughters. The two girls tell their father they are pregnant, a story they invent to push him into marrying them off to their boyfriends, Bud Dyerson and Larry. Sven then puts both young men to work as laborers. Bud works out a plan to leave, and it needs Larry's help. The scheme is to rob a train that hauls worn-out bills to the mint so the paper can be burned, with Larry as a reluctant accomplice.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Free Money (1998)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In a 2008 interview, Thomas Haden Church said he turned down a role in Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, shot in western Europe between June 1997 and August 1997, in order to do Free Money.
- Before Free Money was made, John Cusack, Alec Baldwin, Nicolas Cage, Alicia Silverstone and Japanese singer Seiko Matsuda were all originally attached to the project.
- Free Money qualified as a Quebec production because leading cast member Donald Sutherland lived in the province; supporting roles went to local actors, and producer Nicolas Clermont said their accents could be folded into the story of a small, unidentified border town.
