这部电影以4名身穿燕尾服的男子在监狱里露面,与一个刚刚在监狱里服刑3年的朋友见面,并直接从监狱出来和他的女朋友结婚。在去参加婚礼的路上,其中一个男人要求去银行取点钱。事实证明,他是一个被通缉的银行劫匪,他在抢劫过程中使用了莎士比亚的段落,因此被称为“哈姆雷特”。很快五个人都被困在银行里,卷入了一起抢劫案,最后被劫持为人质。人质谈判代表出现在哈姆雷特的父亲面前。当这些人都知道被抢劫的时候,这个古怪的喜剧在他们的人质全部工作以支持他们的时候作为反转..........The film opens with 4 tuxedo clad men showing up at a penitentiary to meet a friend who has just been released after three years in prison and is going straight from the jail to marry his girl friend. En route to the wedding, one of the men asks to stop by a bank to pick up some cash. As it turns out, he is a wanted bank robber who uses Shakespeare passages during his robberies and thus has become known as "Hamlet". Soon all five men are caught up in the bank and involved in the robbery as they end up in a hostage situation. The hostage negotiator shows up who turns out to be Hamlet's father. As the men are all known to those being robbed, this quirky comedy takes a left turn as their hostages all work to support the men.
