Mirage is a story of four men and a woman who carefully plan and implement a hijacking of an armored vehicle carrying millions of dollars. The band of misfits consists of a ruthless Frank Morgan, Vietnam vet Bleck, ex-boxer Kitson, safecracker Gypo, and down-on-her-luck con artist Ginny. After days of planning, come Friday 11 a.m. everything that can go wrong does. Trigger-happy Bleck shoots the guards. [This particular part is actually inaccurate. Bleck, who is on a stakeout, starts coughing and accidentally squeezes the trigger shooting in the air which leads to couple more shots from other persons. But let us forgive the guy his mistake.] The driver with his dying breath manages to push a few buttons, locking the money inside the vehicle. The gang has no choice but to take the car with them hoping to break the code later.
