The Last Stop in Yuma County is a 2023 American neo-Western crime thriller film written and directed by Francis Galluppi in his feature directorial debut.
On the radio, the salesman hears about a bank robbery earlier that morning in Buckeye, where the robbers fled with approximately $700,000 in a green Ford Pinto with a damaged rear end.
Shortly afterwards, the two bank robbers, Travis and Beau, pass the wreck of a refueling truck and arrive in a green Pinto, which the salesman recognizes as matching the description of the getaway car in the Buckeye robbery.
Meanwhile, joining the salesman and Charlotte in the diner are an elderly couple from Texas, a pair of young aspiring criminals named Miles and Sybil, and local rancher Pete.
With the fuel tank of Pete's vehicle being almost full, Beau and Travis try to force him into giving his car keys to them, but with several people in the diner carrying a firearm, a Mexican standoff develops.
