Action auteur David Leitch is officially back with his latest cinematic venture, How to Rob a Bank. Diving headfirst into the hyper-connected era of modern crime, the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios feature film tracks a highly coordinated, social media-savvy crew of bank robbers who turn their high-stakes heists into viral, real-time broadcasts. Blending the director’s signature high-octane energy with a contemporary digital twist, the project aims to explore the fine line between internet fame and maximum-security reality.
The narrative follows the criminal ring as their skyrocketing viral notoriety inadvertently works against them. Unbeknownst to the crew, their flashy public broadcasts land them squarely in the crosshairs of an unlikely law enforcement duo: a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer. As the investigator and the tech genius combine skills to close the net on their digital footprint, the stakes grow increasingly lethal.
Despite the immense pressure and the authorities rapidly narrowing the gap, the crew refuses to log off. Pushing past their absolute physical and tactical limits, the tight-knit crime ring decides to risk their freedom for their core beliefs, setting the stage for their final and most ambitious heist to date.
The film boasts a stacked ensemble cast, bringing together industry heavyweights and rising stars alike. Sharing the screen for this high-speed chase are Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, and Christian Slater, alongside supporting appearances from Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly.
How to Rob a Bank is scheduled to premiere exclusively in theaters on September 4. Watch the official trailer above.
