American movie released in 1961. No subtitles. Two criminals are driving the getaway car. They have in the vehicle a big suitcase full of money. Three police cars are chasing them. The driver of the getaway car says clearly "I am taking the Bayshore Route" . His companion says something that sounds like "No. Go to plan. Take the freeway". I am not sure of the "go to plan" part because there is a lot of noise in the scene (sirens, engine roar, etc.). If it is what he says, would it be grammatically correct?

What's it called?

It's usually used differently, as in "Everything's going to plan", meaning "Everything's going as planned".

I've never heard it used as an instruction before but it's possible.

It would be 'Stick to the plan' rather than 'Go to plan'.
