Jerry (Brad Pitt), en motvillig småkjeltring, har blitt stilt ovenfor to alternativer. Det første er fra sin mafiasjef som vil ha ham til å reise til Mexico for å hente en uvurderlig, antikk pistol kjent som "Meksikaneren". Alternativt kan han ende opp med en sementblokk på bunnen av havet. Det andre alternativet er fra kjæresten Samantha (Julia Roberts) som vil at han skal slutte med forbrytelser, og bli en ærlig og hederlig mann.
