In 1971, the US military delivered their payroll on Okinawa in unmarked bills on a single helicopter. The payroll flight was called The Money Run. 

 

Inspired by real events, and based on the award-winning novel by former Vietnam helicopter pilot, PR Steele, The Money Run tells the story of how a group of disillusioned Marines pulled off the biggest military robbery in American history, in the midst of of the Vietnam War.
