3000 Miles to Graceland is a 2001 action crime film directed by Demian Lichtenstein and starring Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, and Courteney Cox. The film is set in Las Vegas and tells the story of a group of criminals who plan to rob the count room of the Riviera Casino during an Elvis impersonator convention. However, things take a turn for the worse when one of the robbers, Thomas Murphy (played by Kevin Costner), decides to betray the group and keep all the money for himself.
The film opens with Michael Zane (played by Kurt Russell) being released from prison after serving time for armed robbery. It soon becomes clear that Michael is not a reformed criminal, but rather a seasoned professional who is just looking for his next score. When he meets up with Murphy and his team, he sees an opportunity to make some fast cash.
The robbery does not go as smoothly as planned, and in the chaos that follows, Murphy ends up shooting all of his partners, including Michael. Miraculously, Michael manages to survive and is determined to get revenge on Murphy and take back what is rightfully theirs.
As Michael goes on the hunt for Murphy, he teams up with a stripper named Cybil Waingrow (played by Courteney Cox), who has her own reasons for wanting to see Murphy brought to justice. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey across the country, from Las Vegas to Memphis, where the climax of the film takes place at Elvis Presley's Graceland estate.
