A slow-witted Arizona cop (Clint Eastwood) is elected to go to Las Vegas to escort a prostitute (Sondra Locke), who is marked for death by the mob, back to Phoenix as a potential trial witness.
Eastwood is Phoenix cop Ben Shockley, whose dream of breaking “the big case” has faded over time. His assignment to escort from Las Vegas “a nothing witness for a nothing trial” seems like another meaningless exercise. Until the fireworks start.
The witness is a hardened hooker (Locke) whom everyone—including Vegas oddsmakers—wants dead.
Trapped between both sides of the law, the two must survive an obstacle course of raging gunfire, blazing cars, swooping helicopters, murderous ambushes, crazed bikers and crooked police.
Building to a ferocious finale that shoots an armored bus to smithereens with more than 8,000 bullets, Eastwood runs The Gauntlet into an explosive movie embodying its title with a vengeance.
