Plot Summary

On the streets they call cash dead presidents. And that's just what a Vietnam veteran (Larenz Tate) is after when he returns home from the war only to find himself drawn into a life of crime. With the aid of his fellow vets he plans the ultimate heist -- a daring robbery of an armored car filled with unmarked U.S. currency!

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Like those overreaching sophomore term papers we can all laugh at now, this disappointing film may free the Hughes brothers to move on to fresher, more inspired work. – Caryn James, New York Times, Dec 6, 2009

Rotten: What emerges is an uneasy blend of didacticism and juiced-up bloodletting (the brothers don't know when to stop with the exploding squibs) that bury the film's message and its good intentions. – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, Dec 6, 2009

Fresh: Messy but mesmerizing. – Mike Clark, USA Today, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Dead Presidents may eventually box itself into a narrative dead end, but its muscular engagement of weighty themes and explosive situations makes it a powerful drama. – Todd McCarthy, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Most truthful

This is the best movie that depicts the lives of African-American people who got treated like crap after being made to go fight a war that was a personal vendetta for some but not for all this movie shows how we as a people where used & abused with no regards as being Americans or for that matter humans I truly love this movie Thanks Hughes Bros.

Great movie overall.
