 Idiot Box is a suburban tale, mainly about Mick and Kev, two unemployed mates who decide that there would be a lot more money for beer if they robbed a bank. Throughout the movie, we see them planning (with comical precision) the details of the haul. We also witness the life of a professional bank robber, and his heroin addicted wife, who in a very interesting way, wind up with Kev and Mick.
