Crackers (1984)
Film Synopsis
In the Hispanic quarter of San Francisco, Weslake, a former security officer, guards a pawnbroker shop owned by Garvey, with the help of his friend Turtle. One day, Dillard, a musician, visits the shop to buy back the guitar that he pawned earlier. Dillard offers Garvey a stolen car radio in exchange and the old pawnbroker agrees, providing Dillard helps him by installing a new alarm system. At first, Dillard is reluctant to do this, but his friend Ramon persuades him that if he were to install the alarm he would know how to break into the shop without setting it off. This conversation is overheard and Weslake is soon made aware of what Dillard is planning...© James Travers
