F.T.W. is a 1994 film about Frank T. Wells, an ex-con rodeo rider who becomes involved with a woman who's a bank robber on the run. The title of the film refers both to the main character's initials, and to a tattoo on Clem's hand, meaning "Fuck The World". The film opens with Frank T. Wells getting released from prison after a 10-year sentence after a bar fight. An ex-rodeo champion, he then goes back to his life, meeting with old acquaintances and getting his old truck back. He lives as a cowboy, riding his newly-found horse Angel, living in the country in his van and making a living from... rodeo events. His story is intertwined with the story of Scarlett Stuart , amateur auto-repair mechanist who lives with her sexually-abusive brother Clem . The two of them including Joe Palmieri decide to rob a bank. The job goes through and 8 policemen are killed in the process. Trying to hide in a motel, they are then found by the police, who kill Clem and Joe during a shootout, while Scarlett manages to escape.
