Frank Slade has a plan. It includes a weekend of fast cars, the tango, high living and a loaded forty five. And Charlie is coming along for the ride.

Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell), a prep school student, takes a job as companion to Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino), a blind, volatile Army officer spending what might be his last weekend in a hotel. Frank wants to chase women and drive fast cars, and Charlie finds himself steering a man who won't be steered.
