"Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead" sees a down and out gangster/conman Jimmy the Saint (Andy Garcia) run into financial troubles with his self employed business. Jimmy is in so much debt he has to turn to common loan sharks for quick cash. It’s not long before Jimmy falls behind in his payments and The Head or better known as The Man With a Plan (Christopher Walken) buys up all of his debt in exchange for a favor. Jimmy is found to be in a perplexed state as to what to do in this case. He calls in his people, Pieces (Christopher Lloyd), Franchise (William Forsythe), Easy Wind (Bill Nunn) and Critical Bill (Treat Williams) who end up in trouble with him. Now Jimmy and his crew all have contracts on their head for incredible sums of money. Safe to say, Jimmy and his boys do indeed end up in Wise Guy Heaven but it’s the way they get there that makes it all the more interesting.
