Danny quickly assembles a crew from the rogues' gallery of friends with whom he's not supposed to consort for the duration of his parole: Card sharp Ryan (Brad Pitt), pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), cockney explosives specialist Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle), crooked casino dealer Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), drivers and all-purpose chameleons Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck, Scott Caan), surveillance geek Dell (Eddie Jemison) and veteran flimflam man Saul Bloom (Carl Reiner). They're all owned by a sleek and notoriously security-conscious thug named Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who's dating a leggy beauty named Tess (Julia Roberts) who just happens to be Danny's ex-wife. And it's a doozy: He plans to rob the vault that houses hundreds of millions of dollars in cash for three glittering Las Vegas casinos - the Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand. Con man Danny Ocean (George Clooney), the sort of smooth operator who gets sprung from jail in a tuxedo, is fresh out of the joint and already setting up a new scam. A genial, personality-driven heist comedy, based on the 1960 rat-pack escapade, that wants nothing more than to entertain.
