After pulling off the heist of their lives,
Danny Ocean and his pals unexpectedly find themselves back in harness in this sequel to 2001's blockbuster hit
Ocean's Eleven. After robbing a cool $160 million from the Bellaggio Hotel Casino and winning back his former wife,
Tess (
Julia Roberts), from Bellagio owner
Terry Benedict (
Andy Garcia),
Danny Ocean (
George Clooney) is living quietly on the lam in Connecticut when he's unexpectedly approached by
Benedict. It seems
Benedict has tracked down
Danny and the ten men who helped him pull off the seemingly impossible robbery, and
Benedict offers them a proposal -- if they can repay the $160 million in two weeks, he won't have them killed. As it turns out, both
Danny and his best friend,
Rusty Ryan (
Brad Pitt), haven't been doing so well in terms of money management and could use some cash, so they set out to plan a robbery to recover the loot, with the same crew helping out --
Linus Caldwell (
Matt Damon),
Frank Catton (
Bernie Mac),
Basher Tarr (
Don Cheadle),
Saul Bloom (
Carl Reiner),
Reuben Tishkoff (
Elliott Gould),
Livingston Dell (
Eddie Jemison),
Yen (
Shaobo Qin),
Virgil Malloy (
Casey Affleck), and his brother
Turk (
Scott Caan).
Danny and
Rusty discover that an incredibly rare Fabergé egg is being displayed at a museum in Rome which would fetch the price they need, but they soon discover a notorious cat burglar,
François Toulour (
Vincent Cassel), is also after the egg, and it turns into a race to see who can claim it first. Adding to the intrigue is
Isabel Lahiri (
Catherine Zeta-Jones), a woman
Rusty used to be involved with who is now a top agent with Interpol and is after both
Toulour and
Ocean's crew. Shot on location in both the United States and Europe,
Ocean's Twelve was, like its precursor, directed by the stylish
Steven Soderbergh, who also photographed the picture under his
nom de lens,
Peter Andrews.
