Independent Cinema for Everyone

The heist film is turned inside out in this wildly entertaining true-life tale focusing on four dim witted college friends who, inspired by their favourite movies, hatch a scheme to steal a multi-million dollar book collection. In 2004 four students, inspired by films like Ocean’s 11 and The Italian Job plan to steal priceless books from their university’s special collections library. Armed with disguises, a stun pen and a minivan they set off on a mission to pull off one of the most audacious art thefts in recent history. A hugely enjoyable, high energy tale about four misguided men searching in all the wrong places for identity, meaning, and adventure.

Dir. Bart Leyton, UK/US, 2018, 117 mins. Cast. Evan Peters, Blake Jenner, Ann Dowd, Barry Keoghan.
