Charlie Croker is out of jail and on the make with an ingenious plan for the heist of the century. Aided and abetted by top criminal mastermind Mr. Bridger, Charlie sets off with an ace team of villains and three very special minis to lift $4,000,000 from under the noses of the Turin Polizi. The trouble is, with the cops and the Mafia on his tail, Charlie finds that grabbing the money is kid’s stuff compared to getting away with it…

This stylish and contemporary update of the 1969 Michael Caine classic sees mastermind Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) and his team – inside man Steve (Edward Norton), computer genius Lyle (Seth Green), wheelman Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), explosives expert Left-Ear (Mos Def) and veteran safecracker John Bridger (Donald Sutherland) – pull off the perfect heist, stealing millions of dollars worth of gold bullion from a heavily guarded palazzo in Venice, Italy. What the team don’t expect is that one of them will turn out to be a double-crosser and steal the gold from them. Now, with the help of safe cracker Stella Bridger (Charlize Theron), the job isn’t about the payoff, it’s about payback!
