|---|
Based on Ernest Hemingway novel, THE KILLERS is a movie directed by Don Siegel in 1964.
Charlie and Lee have been hired by Jack Browning in order to kill Johnny North. After the job has been done, Charlie decides to understand why Johnny hasn't made a move to escape when the killers came to him. He'll discover that Johnny had taken part in a heist a few years before with Browning and tried then to double-cross him and run away with Sheila Farr, Browning's girl-friend.
