Wikipedia Plot
In Venice, Italy, retired safecracker John Bridger (Donald Sutherland) calls his daughter Stella Bridger (Charlize Theron) and tells her that he bought her something sparkling and that he will participate in his final heist.
Few minutes later, John then meets up with Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) before setting the heist into motion. Their team consists of themselves and four others: Steve (Edward Norton) is the "inside man", Handsome Rob (Jason Statham) is a getaway driver, Left Ear (Mos Def) is an explosives expert, and Lyle (Seth Green) is a technical expert. The target of the heist is $35 million worth of gold, which was stolen a few days ago. They arrive by boat at the building that they been watching, and Steve breaks into the apartment. Steve and Left Ear plant the bombs on the wall to bomb it, so that the safe could fall downstairs. They manage to bomb it, and Lyle and Rob drive away with the safe. They drag away the mobsters, but is revealed that the safe isn't on their boat, but in the water below. Rob and Lyle manage to escape, and Left Ear, Charlie and John steal the gold while in scuba suits, and they escape Venice.
The heist is a success, but when they drive in a Iveco truck on the road deep in the Alps near the Austrian border, two jeeps block their path on a bridge, and Steve pulls the gun on Rob, revealing that he only wants to keep the gold for himself. John tries to get out, telling that he can't escape where they can't find him, with Steve replying that he is right, and subsequently shoots him. Rob drives the truck into the river, and they take oxygen bottles that they used to keep air inside the truck. Steve takes a automatic and fires into the water, to ensure that they are dead.
The guys manage to swim out, with Charlie crying over John's body, and Rob, Left Ear and Lyle standing next to him. Rob tells him that they got to leave.
A year later, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Stella is using her safe cracking expertise as a professional Safe and Vault Technician to break into vaults as an assistant to law enforcement personnel. Meanwhile, the team has tracked Steve down with the help of Skinny Pete (a very ironic name, considering he's 300 pounds), and Charlie tries to recruit Stella to participate with the team in retrieving the gold from Steve since she has the required skill and motivation. She refuses at first, thinking that he is interested only in gold, and not revenge, but when she sees old family photos and a necklace (that John bought her on the day of the original heist), she changes her mind. The team travels to Los Angeles, California to begin their surveillance of Steve's house and plan the heist.
Meanwhile, Steve changed his last name to Frizelli to cover his indetity, and he is trying to sell his gold through a money launderer named Yevhen (Boris Krutonog), who owns a jewelry store as a cover up business. The team's initial plan is to have Steve stood up on a date with Stella — who posed as a cable repair woman to get into Steve's house and locate his safe — while the team breaks into Steve's house, load the gold into three Mini Coopers modified by Rob's mechanical friend Wrench (Franky G), and use hacked traffic lights to make their escape. However, Charlie is forced to call the plan off because of a loca
