A brazenly improbable heist ignites in the skies as a charismatic con artist assembles a diverse, internationally-sourced crew for an audacious mid-air robbery: stealing half a billion dollars in gold bullion from a civilian airliner. Rather than meticulous planning, the operation thrives on improvisational chaos and unexpected problem-solving fueled by a playful disregard for physics and protocol, leaning heavily into slapstick humor alongside the high-stakes pressure. The film distinguishes itself not through suspenseful tension, but with a lighthearted, almost celebratory tone, embracing the absurdity of the caper and focusing on the team’s quirky dynamic as they navigate a series of increasingly outlandish complications. It's a refreshingly self-aware caper comedy that prioritizes wit and momentum over realism, offering a jubilant, if implausible, ride.
