Non-Stop
is the story of three losers brought together by fate with disastrous results.
A would-be bank robber forgets his mask on his first big heist, and then botches
an attempt to shoplift a replacement mask from a nearby convenience store. The
store's clerk, a washed-up rock star, chases the thief and literally runs into
a Yakuza thug to whom he owes money. Thus begins an all-night, three-way pursuit
through the streets of Tokyo. As the three men run, they begin to question from
what and to where they are running... and no one can stop them. (from The
Shooting Gallery site)

"At the end, as they collapse, sweaty and breathless, their faces glow
with pleasure and release. 'It felt good to run,' says the would-be bank robber,
and watching 'Nonstop,' a breathless dash to nowhere in particular, doesn't
feel bad either.
