Pass the Ammo is a 1987 American comedy film starring Bill Paxton, Annie Potts, Linda Kozlowski and Tim Curry.

The robbery, hostage taking, and scandal revelations all are broadcast live over satellite television as locals gather in bars to watch.

Porter and the robbers develop a rapport that resembles shop talk among thieves as they discuss the best ways of investing stolen money.

The Christian network's producer, a drug-addled electronics wizard named Stonewall, adds minor complications to the ongoings, playing with the images in comical ways that keep the television audience laughing.

The owner of the satellite network, G. W. Wraith (loosely based on Jerry Falwell), demands that the National Guard be called in, leading to a siege and an unexpected outcome to the entire situation.
