Plot Summary

Fresh out of prison, professional thief Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is already planning an audacious heist that will redefine the limits of modern crime. His target is billionaire casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), whose three Las Vegas casinos hold a combined fortune of 150 million dollars in a single, ultra-secure vault.

To execute the most ambitious robbery Las Vegas has ever seen, Danny reunites with his former partner Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt). Together, they assemble an elite team of eleven specialists, each a master in their own field—from explosives and surveillance to acrobatics and disguise.

As the meticulously crafted plan moves into action, the crew navigates layers of security systems, misdirection, and perfectly timed chaos. Every move is calculated, every second accounted for, as the heist unfolds during a high-profile boxing event that keeps the casinos packed and distracted.

But for Danny, the motivation goes beyond money. Beneath the slick confidence and criminal precision lies a deeply personal agenda, one that adds emotional stakes to an already high-risk operation. Stylish, witty, and fast-paced, Ocean's Eleven blends clever plotting with sharp dialogue, redefining the modern ensemble heist film.
