Armored Tyler Hackett is an armored truck guard working for Eagle Shield, a former marine in the Iraq war, who lost both of his parents that year, and is now trying to make ends meet with the bank foreclosing his house and taking care of his younger brother, living pay check to pay check. Ty gets a ride from his friend Mike Cochrane every day to work. They meet with their four other friends: Baines, Quinn, Palmer, and Dobbs in the locker room where they get ready to make a cash exchange with a bank. Baines shows Ty and Mike his new shotgun and Mike tells him that he is overcompensating, and Ty explains how he is by having "the bigger the gun, the smaller the pistol." Ty, Mike, and Baines, riding armored truck 12 starts to break down in a nearby ghetto. As they try to start the truck again, a black van approaches them from behind. Two thugs jump out and one of them puts a plastic explosive on the back window of the truck. Ty shoots "Bomb" and takes cover, only for the bomb to be rigged with smoke bombs. Baines and Mike start laughing at Ty only for the "jack" to be a prank, the three men in the black van turned out to be Quinn, Palmer, and Dobbs from armored truck 17, who were in on the joke with Mike and Baines.

The group went to a bar that night laughing and joking about the prank. Mike proposes a toast to Ty for all the hard work he has done for him and his brother Jimmy, after the death of his parents. The six talk about armored car incidents where the guards were jacked and the money stolen. A incident where someone dropped a power line with 50,000 volts, frying all the guards inside the truck. Another where some thugs attempted to blow the truck door with a demolition charge, which failed to blow the door, but instead lit the fuel lines and cause the entire truck to go up in flames. Quinn explains to Ty how Ashcroft, their boss when he was an armored guard himself got caught in an incident, where all of his comrades were killed by a group of 5 men. Ashcroft was the only one who made it our alive and killed all five of the guards. Mike mentioned another incident where back in October, 1988, an armored crew carrying $4 million stopped at a car accident, which turned out to be a setup. When one of the guards left the truck, a thug put a sawed-off shotgun to the back of his head. The guards having to give up all of the money they were carrying to save their comrade. Baines starts to pressure Ty into telling them the time it was like it Iraq when he wa serving, Ty just ignores him and goes to the bathroom.

Mike drives Ty home, insuring him that he was only doing his duty and that anyone would have done the same thing. The next day, on the way to another cash transfer, Mike tells Ty the only reason why the guys who pulled the jack in '88 didn't get caught is because they didn't exist and that the guards who told that story made it up in the first place and just hid the $4 million dollars. That night Ty and Mike go to a local hotdog stand for dinner and then take a walk. Mike discuss that the next day, the group had to deliver $42 million to a federal reserve and that the five men had devised a plan to take the money, just like the guys back in '88 did. Ty refuses, furious at Mike just starts to run home. When Ty makes it home, he walks in to see Jimmy arguing with a welfare agent about the issues going on with Jimmy at his school. The agent states that since Ty is in a position where he is unable to take care of Jimmy, he should be sent to foster care. Ty getting angry, tells the agent off and that no one would separate them from each other.

The next morning, Ty walks into the locker room with complete silence from the guys after refusing to cooperate with the heist. Him and Mike start to talk and that if Ty agrees to go on the heist, no one will get hurt in the process. Mike promises Ty that no one will be hurt while on the heist. As the men get ready to leave, Ashcroft informs Ty that had been promoted and that he was honored to have a veteran on his crew. Making their checkpoint, the team has now 59 minutes til their next check-in. After collecting the $42 million ($21 million in both trucks), the group make their way to an abandoned steel mill where they start to unload the money from Quinn's truck into a small storage area that was used for storing gasoline. As soon as they get ready to unload Mike's truck, Quinn realizes that a homeless man, living in the mill. The group attempts to stop him from getting away and is successful but lose focus trying to figure out what to do now, when the homeless man tries to escape. In a panic, Baines shoots the man in the back with his shotgun and he falls to the ground. As the guys argue, Ty notices that the homeless man is still alive and tries to get him into the truck and to the hospital. Mike tells Ty that he isn't gonna make it in time. Ty refusing to listen, Mike then pulls out his pistol and shoots the homeless man, killing him. Mike tells Ty that he had no choice in killing him, but Ty says that he has a choice in choosing to participate any further in the heist. Ty jumps into the truck with the remaining $21 million and locks himself in the truck. Mike tries to get Ty to continue on with the mission but Ty still refuses. Mike informs Ty that Jimmy needs him, making Ty angry, he attempts to drive away. Mike hurries and gets into Quinn's truck and tries to stop Ty from leaving the mill. Several minutes of driving, Ty ends up coming back to the mill and getting stuck with his truck pinned to the wall from Quinn's truck. In response, Ty sets off the built-in alarm on the truck which isn't loud enough for anyone to hear, however a local sheriff, Jake, eating at the hotdog stand can fantly hear the siren and goes to check it out. Before the siren could continue, Mike pops the hood and pulls the fuse out of the truck, turning all power to the truck off. With Ty locked into Mike's truck with the remaining $21 million, Mike had concluded that they would forget about the money in his truck and spilt the $21 million that they hid 5 ways and devised a plan to break Ty out of the truck in the remaining time they have. Mike figured out that the hinges were supported by pins that kept the doors on the truck on. To drive the pins through, the gang used an iron pipe and pin over the hinges and pushed the pins through. Making slow progess, the pins start to fall through. Ty tries to get Dobbs to help him since he is considered Ty's best friend. Dobbs tells Ty that he can't help him and that he should of stuck with them in the first place.

Jake approaches the mill in his squad car and hears the banging from the truck and starts to investigate. Quinn, keeping watch notices Jake approaching them and warns the others. Mike and Baines come up to see and Baines offers to take him out but Mike instead says that he isn't there for them and that he could get rid of him by just smooth talking his way out. Ty realizes that someone had come because of the panic from the gang, so trying to get someone's attention, he finds a flashlight in a tool box and tries to hot wire the truck using its battery. Meanwhile Jake still talking to Mike tells him he thought he heard a siren and some banging, but Mike insures him there wasn't any of that there. As soon as Jake is about to leave, Ty restores little power to the truck but enough to turn the siren back on. Jake panics at the alarm and attempts to pull out his pistol but is shot in the abdomen by Baines with his shotgun and falls to the ground. Mike and Quinn pull Jake into the mil, trying to figure out what to do. With all 5 guys panicing and yelling at each other, Ty takes advantage of this distraction and runs over to the hole where they stashed the money and takes the gasoline and pours it all over the money and ignites it with a flare. Making a run for it, the gang then turn their attention to money, leaving Jake all by himself. As the gang now tries to put the fire out, Ty makes his way around the truck and to Jake and gets him into the truck. Mike realizes Jake missing and runs over to the truck and sees Ty keeping Jake in the truck. Quinn, angered uses Jake's pistol and tries to shoot the window but proves useless as the windows are bulletproof.

The gang now knows they need a new plan with $21 million gone and now a cop hurt. Mike realizes since they have gone this far, they have nothing more to lose and tells Quinn to go and get Ty's brother, Jimmy. Quinn leaves to go get Jimmy in armored truck 17. With 4 guys left, they continue to drive the pins out of the truck. Dobbs starts to have a change of heart and agrees to help Ty. Ty tells him that in order to get out, they need the fuse that Mike pulled out of the truck when the siren went off. Dobbs slowly walks over and gets the fuse from Mike's coat, while the other 3 are distracted with pins. Dobbs makes his ways to the hood and tries to put the fuse back into engine, but is caught by Mike, Baines, and Palmer. Dobbs tells Mike that he doesn't know what they are doing anymore and that this wasn't what they agreed to. Scared, Dobbs goes to Palmer for help, begging him not to let Mike and Baines do anything to him. Palmer agrees not to and then Dobbs starts walking into a corner. Palmer looking at Mike and Baines realizing what he has to do. Palmer runs over to Dobbs and starts walking with him, talking informing him that it will be okay. He leads Dobbs into a dark, iron shed and then impales Dobbs in the stomach and slowly lets his body fall to the ground. Ty notices an exit through the floor of the truck. Before he uses it, he takes the money from the truck and uses it to cover all the windows on the truck. He uses the two-wheeler for the money container and pryes the frame from the floor, making it possible for him to escape through the bottom. Taking Jake's radio, he attempts to make it to the roof to get a signal for the radio to contact for help. Ty makes it the roof but is heard fantly by Mike. Just making sure, he sends Palmer to go check it out, and takes his place for holding the pin. Ty gets to the farthest point on the roof and gets a reception from another call. Ty requests help from another officer and gives them his position. Before he make his way back, he is caught by Palmer at gunpoint. Ty informs Palmer that it is over and the call is made and that shooting him will only make things worse. Palmer becomes very upset and starts yelling at Ty, telling him to shut up. Palmer realizing that there is nothing left to look forward to but prison, asks Ty if "God will forgive me", and then jumps off the roof, killing himself. Ty completely shocked at what he saw, says nothing more and just makes his way back to the truck. When he gets back to the truck, he informs Jake that he got through and that help is on the way. Quinn comes back in his truck and throws Jimmy out of the truck. Ty in a panic, grabs the fire extinguisher and tapes four flares to it. Mike and Baines then grab Jimmy and threatens Ty that he has 3 seconds to get out of the truck or he will execute Jimmy. Ty opens the door with his hands up and gets out of the truck. Baines walks over and beats Ty to the ground and gets in the truck. Quinn pulls Jake out of the truck and throws him on the ground and gets in to. Baines and Quinn get the money container ready to move. Mike throws Jimmy down and keeps watch over them, while Baines and Quinn ready the money. Jimmy crawls over to Ty, but then Ty grabs Jimmy and covers him. Baines and Quinn lift the money container up and find a bomb Ty left in the container and are caught in the explosion. Mike is thrown back from the explosion, while Jake, Ty and Jimmy are safe next to the truck. Either Baines or Quinn fall out of the truck completely covered in flames and scream in pain, but then dies. (It is unknown which one it is, although it is most likely Baines because the scream did sound like his voice.) Ty tells Jimmy to stay there with Jake while he goes and tries to make sure the cops can find them. Mike, still alive gets up with burns covering his face and then goes after Ty. Ty makes his way to the Jake's squad car and tries to get the car started, but is it then almost killed by Mike ramming Quinn's truck into the squad car. Ty, surviving gets out of the car and tries to make a run for it, while Mike then goes after him and follows him down a road. Mike, catching up to Ty almost hitting him, Ty jumps down into a ditch and Mike misses, driving the truck into the ditch, completely destroying the truck. Ty makes his way down the wreck and finds Mike bleeding out badly in the wreckage and then dies.

Ty going to the hospital where Jake is sent to recover from his wound. Ashcroft walks over to him telling him that Jake told him what he did. Ty, convinced that he lost his job looks down, but Ashcroft informs him that he wants to talk of a reward. Jimmy walks out with his bandages with Ty and goes home.
