The Gentleman Thief

What it’s about

Mason Goddard has tried to leave his criminal past behind, but the chance to steal a painting worth 100 million dollars proves too tempting. The artwork is up for auction on the yacht of a ruthless collector, and Mason assembles a plan to take it. Yet the heist is a set-up: an old foe is waiting, bent on revenge. When the operation goes wrong, Mason must rely on every skill he has to outwit his enemy, protect his people, and pull off the boldest theft of his career.

What hooks you

John Travolta plays Mason, with Lukas Haas as Shawn and Rebecca De Mornay as Odessa. Directed by Randall Emmett, the film is a prequel to "The Bank Job" and "The Bank Job 2: High Stakes".

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy heist action where plans unravel and enemies lurk in the shadows. It will appeal to viewers who like crime stories with high stakes and a veteran thief forced back into the game.
