Varrick and Sullivan are expecting a modest payday for a simple heist, but to their surprise they walk away with $750,000 in cash.
Varrick goes through a laborous effort to cover his tracks and even telephones the rightful owner of the money (John Vernon), but the hitman may be unstoppable.

 kamera.co.uk - film review - Charley Varrick directed by Director: Don Siegel
- reviewed by Tim ...
In the opening sequence of Charley Varrick a bank robbery in a small New Mexico town goes terribly awry when a local policeman stops to question the driver of the getaway car (Felicia Farr, as Varrick's wife).
Varrick and his remaining partner (Andy Robinson) then drive out to the desert where they detonate the getaway car (in a beautifully composed long shot, the car explodes into a ball of fire beneath an immaculate blue sky).
As Charley's shortsighted partner Harman, Robinson brings to his character the same febrile intensity he brought to the role of the masochistic killer in Dirty Harry.

 Charley Varrick | The A.V. Club
In truth, Pulp Fiction doesn't borrow anywhere near as much from Charley Varrick as, say, Reservoir Dogs does from The Killing, but Siegel's film does form part of the vast crazy-quilt of forgotten and half-remembered violent, lurid genre movies which shaped Quentin Tarantino's ebullient trash aesthetic.
Recently released on DVD, Charley Varrick stars Walter Matthau as a former trick pilot reduced to robbing banks with his wife and a hot-headed young punk played by Andrew Robinson, who two years earlier made an indelible impression as the psychotic heavy in Siegel's Dirty Harry.
A low-key, tough little thriller punctuated by casual bursts of brutality and deadpan humor, Charley Varrick is informed by a quiet professionalism that suits a movie about feds and criminals doing their jobs, whether that means laundering money, making fake passports, or robbing banks.

Marvellous, toughly eccentric thriller which confirmed that Siegel had more responses to '70s paranoia than a mere Magnum blast, and decisively removed Matthau from the wasteland of Neil Simon wit.

Charley Varrick and his friends rob a small town bank.
And CHARLEY VARRICK is a fine specimen of the exciting, brutal, honest approach to movies in that decade.
We've become so accustomed to seeing Walter Matthau in comedies like GRUMPY OLD MEN that at first you'd wonder if he could pull his part off as Varrick convincingly (well, he also played a crook in KING CREOLE and a detective in THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE, TWO THREE, for openers).
