Summary

Based on the story "The Flying Bandit" by Robert Knuckle, based on the real-life Canadian thief, BANDIT stars Josh Duhamel as Gilbert Galvan Jr. - the criminal mastermind behind the story. Gilbert escapes from a Michigan prison and sets off to live in Canada, successfully robbing 59 banks with ease. Gilbert is a master of disguise and is excellent at what he does, but when he meets Elisha Cuthbert's Andrea, his world changes. With his relationship potentially in jeopardy with every new heist, Gilbert is presented with one last job to hit before he steps out of the game. However, with a detective named John Snydes (Nestor Carbonell) hot on his trail, Gilbert will have to keep his wits about him to stay ahead of his pursuer. BANDIT's cast is rounded out by Mel Gibson as Tommy K. a legend in his own right in the film whom Josh Duhamel's character will seek out for investment purposes. The film marks the third directorial effort from Allan Ungar and was a challenging endeavor, as major Canadian cities had to be recreated in modern-day Georgia.
