Slightly overrated story of a group of criminals who take the novel approach of hiding their identities from each other by wearing masks. They pull off a bank robbery with careful planning and in the process frame innocent delivery truck driver John Payne. They flee to Mexico for the split, but Payne is hot on their tracks to get revenge and the share he thinks he deserves. The hidden identity angle allows him access to the others, and the identity of "Mr. Big" is not revealed until the end, but it's pretty obvious. A romantic subplot feels forced, as does the happy ending.
