Harry Dean is a career burglar set on stealing a piece of priceless art from the world's wealthiest man, Mr. Shahbandar. With the help of exotic showgirl Nicole Chang, he concocts the perfect scheme for how the robbery should go and lays it out point by point. However, when the team tries to execute the plan, perfection and reality don't quite match up, and Harry's vision begins to unravel in this twisty tale of a heist gone wrong.

what a treat! another one for the ‘these films are smarter than you think’ category, watching this unfold with its twists and turns was a delight. before this, max and I had spent ages trying to find Jodhaa Akbar to stream but to no avail and we were in the dumps. this lovely, hilarious movie totally changed up the mood. a little ironic that we went from a Mughal dynasty movie to some unfortunate brown face but otherwise a fabulous film 🙂‍↕️

I love seeing pre 9/11 airports in old movies. What do you mean an international flight costs 10 franks and leaves in 15 minutes that’s ridiculous.
