The Pickup

The quiet predictability of transporting money across state lines shatters for Russell and Travis, two armored car employees whose professional relationship is as strained as their schedules. A seemingly straightforward assignment devolves into a tense standoff when they’re targeted by a crew of opportunistic thieves. At the heart of the operation is Zoe, a calculating figure who orchestrates the ambush with unsettling precision. The film explores the dynamics between these individuals – the weary veterans grappling with unexpected danger and the coolly intelligent antagonist observing their reactions. It's a study in resourcefulness under pressure, examining how ordinary people respond when confronted by extraordinary circumstances, all set against a backdrop of escalating tension and shifting loyalties.
