“Sizzling!”

It starts as a dare among college students: could a casino in Reno actually be robbed? Al Mercer (Guy Madison) and his former Army buddies, Brick (Brian Keith) among them, begin turning the idea into a plan, aimed at Harold's Club, a real casino. Phil Karlson, who made his name on hard, quick crime pictures, lays out the job step by step and keeps the five men and Kay Greylek (Kim Novak) close in the frame.
