Hard Cash (also known as Run for the Money) is a direct-to-video action heist film, released in 2002.
Master thief Thomas Taylor (Slater) is released on parole. Later, he uses his job as a Paramedic to rob an off-track betting office, inadvertently stealing cash that a corrupt FBI agent named 'Cornell' (Kilmer) had planned to steal himself. Cornell retaliates by kidnapping Taylor's daughter and forcing him and his crew to steal a large shipment of cash. Simultaneously, the Russian mafia wants revenge because the FBI's involvement prevented them from laundering the original cash. The members of Taylor's crew agree to the corrupt FBI heist, but each one plans to stab the others in the back and take the money for themselves. Taylor must satisfy or outwit the corrupt agent, the Russian mob, and the members of his own gang in order to escape with his daughter.
