Fresh out of prison, notorious bank robber Roy immediately finds himself back in the criminal underworld. Hope for a new life springs up when he befriends a family and their pretty granddaughter who are travelling to California. To afford a fresh start, he has to pull off one last job – and then a mysterious woman appears who falls in love with Roy... While Ida Lupino's acting career is at its peak, HIGH SIERRA marks a turning point for Humphrey Bogart. In his first leading role, he redefines the character of the incorrigible criminal and influences an entire genre: the violent gangster of the 1930s gives way to the sarcastic, fatalistic antihero of 1940s film noir.
