Synopsis

The Dion Brothers is a fast-moving action-comedy about two West Virginia hick brothers: Calvin (Stacy Keach) and Rut (Frederic Forrest) who start to develop a fondness for crime. The two begin planning robberies around the Washington D.C. area with the help of their small time hood buddies. This film has some truly outrageous sequences of destruction and mayhem.
