Con el objetivo de robar un banco y que su madre esté orgullosa de ellos, dos fracasados ladrones roban un sombrero mágico que les hará invencibles. Joe y Averell son, respectivamente, el mayor y el menor de los cuatro hermanos Dalton, los más peligrosos bandidos de toda la historia del Far West, y sus fracasos son de tal calibre que su propia madre se está volviendo en contra de ellos! Pero reaccionan cuando Mamá Dalton los echa de su propia casa y deciden hacer que ella se sienta orgullosa de ellos robando el Gulch City Bank, donde la seguridad es tan alta que hasta los empleados están entrenados en las artes del combate. Fracasan en el robo del banco y Joe y Averell, junto con sus hermanos, son encarcelados. En la celda conocen a un mejicano que les revela información sobre un sombrero mágico que vuelve invencible al que lo lleva. Joe y Averell deciden inmediatamente obtener el sombrero, así que se fugan de la prisión y se dirigen hacia Méjico, dejando un caos a su paso.
This French-German-Belgian thriller, reminiscent of Misery (1990) and The Collector (1965), begins after Fred Astaire-fan Clement (Jean Rochefort) invites comic-book artist Luc (Guillaume Canet) to Sunday dinner with Clement and his wife Violette. Luc's girlfriend Margot announces her pregnancy, prompting Luc to forget about the invitation, but Clement insists that Luc join him. After Luc arrives and sees that Violette is only a life-size plastic doll, he decides to leave but gets clobbered on the head. Awakening, he finds he's been handcuffed to the bathroom sink and gagged. Cruelties ensue, with crazed Clement getting visionary advice from both Astaire and Violette. Award-winning composer-arranger-orchestrator Philippe Haim made his feature directorial debut with this drama, and music is very much a part of the film from Haim's score and music-box melodies to tap dancing, honky-tonk piano, and a full musical comedy production number.
