Synopsis of Henry's Crime (2011) - (Photos of film, including other films, in slideshow):
Working the night shift as a toll collector in Buffalo, New York, Henry (Reeves) is a man seemingly without ambition, dreams or purpose. He gets his wakeup call early one morning when he becomes an unwitting participant in an ill-conceived bank heist.
Rather than give up the names of the real culprits, Henry takes the fall and goes to jail. There, he meets the irrepressible Max, a con man who plants an idea in Henry's mind-that for a man to find his purpose, he must first have a dream.
