Summary: "In this spellbinding film by Martin Scorsese, Bertha (Barbara Hershey) is a small-time crook, free-spirited about love and life...until she falls hard for union man and Robin-Hood-of-the-rails, Big Bill Shelly (David Carradine). Stealing from the rich and giving to the workers, Bertha and Bill soon become the most notorious train robbers in the South. But as they become more brazen, the duo discovers that their lifetime of larceny may have bought them a one-way ticket to a deadly destination!"--Provided by the distributor.
