The volatile showdown between a determined cop and a perfectionist bank robber is sent spiraling toward disaster when a scheming power broker steps in to take control of the situation in this hair-raising heist flick directed by
Spike Lee and starring
Denzel Washington,
Clive Owen, and
Jodie Foster.
Dalton Russell (
Owen) is a bank robber with a difference. In his quest to execute the perfect heist,
Dalton has taken every possible factor into consideration.
Dalton's uncanny ability of staying one step ahead of the law thwarts even-tempered
Detective Keith Frazier's (
Washington) best efforts. But there's another factor at play. The bank president (
Christopher Plummer) has requested the services of high-profile negotiator
Madeline White (
Foster). Despite her commendable track record,
Madeline is something of a wild card, and before the day is over, this bank robbery will go down in history as one of the most elaborate heists ever executed.
