Nuns on the Run (1990) Synopsis

Brian Hope and Charlie McManus have long worked as criminals in London, doing hold-ups and the like. With the changing times in it being more violent and now working for a new young, brash boss named Casey who epitomizes that violence, Brian and Charlie contemplate leaving the business, but realize that it is not as easy as telling Casey of their intention. The one bright light for Brian is, in the course of their work, meeting a naive, extremely nearsighted young woman named Faith Thomas, for who he starts to fall. With their latest assignment to steal drug money from a Chinese Triad, Brian and Charlie sense an opportunity to take the money and run for a new life in South America, not aware that Casey has his own plan for the pair with this job. While the job against the Triad doesn't come off according to anyone's plan, be it Brian, Charlie or Casey, Brian and Charlie are able to run off with the two briefcases full of cash and hide out in disguise in the first place they come across: as nuns in a convent. Brian and Charlie not only have to elude Casey and his men, the Triad, and the police who are all after them, but maintain their assumed identities of Sisters Inviolata and Euphemia to the other nuns of the convent, they who may fall prey especially to the young, nubile young novices. Further complications ensue when Faith reenters Brian's life, she who may factor into what he specifically decides to do.—Huggo
