How To Rob A Bank: David Leitch's Social Heist

David Leitch returns behind the camera with a thriller that imagines a gang of robbers who have become famous on social media thanks to their heists. The film is titled How To Rob A Bank and the first trailer presents a scenario where a robbery can go as viral as a successful video.

Here, moreover, with the trademark of the director of Bullet Train and The Fall Guy. At the center of the story is a group of robbers who turn every heist into a media event, gaining millions of online views while openly defying authorities.

A Manhunt in the Age of Virality

Nicholas Hoult stars as the leader of the group, who ends up in the crosshairs of an expert FBI agent and a computer engineer tasked with tracking his every move. As time passes, the hunt turns into a race against time as the gang prepares an increasingly risky heist. The cast also includes Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater, and Pete Davidson.

The film builds its tension around a simple question: how long can you remain invisible when you constantly seek public attention? In fact, How To Rob A Bank aims to merge the classic heist movie with the dynamics of digital fame.

The release in US theaters is set for September 4, and it should arrive in our country in the same month. This work represents a new chapter in the career of Leitch, who, let's not forget, is the co-creator of the John Wick franchise with Chad Stahelski, among those who have most contributed to redefining Hollywood action cinema in recent years.
