A rag-tag group of con artists and ex-cons team up for the heist to end all heists in this high-profile remake of the 1960 Rat Pack favorite. As with its predecessor,
Ocean's Eleven opens with its titular hero
Danny Ocean (
George Clooney stepping into the
Frank Sinatra role) eager for a new challenge. The similarities to the original end there, as
Ocean conspires with his old pal
Rusty Ryan (
Brad Pitt) to rob 150 million dollars from an underground vault that serves three of Las Vegas' biggest casinos. Between the two of them, they recruit nine other men, each with his own criminal specialty, to assist in the mission: moneyman
Reuben Tishkoff (
Elliot Gould), card dealer
Frank (
Bernie Mac), pickpocket
Linus (
Matt Damon), aging con artist
Saul (
Carl Reiner), British explosives pro
Basher (
Don Cheadle), techie
Dell (
Eddie Jemison), rude-boy brothers
Virgil (
Casey Affleck) and
Turk (
Scott Caan), and professional acrobat
Yen (
Shaobo Qin). What
Ocean doesn't tell the group is that there's another reason he's coordinating the heist: the three casinos they're robbing are all owned by ruthless gambling mogul
Terry Benedict (
Andy Garcia), who just happens to be married to
Ocean's former love
Tess (
Julia Roberts).
Ocean's Eleven was updated by scribe
Ted Griffin and marked the third feature shot by director
Steven Soderbergh under the alias
Peter Andrews.
