In Ocean’s Thirteen, the smooth-talking crew is back for their most personal heist yet, driven by loyalty and revenge. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, this third installment reunites Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his team, who come together to exact justice for their beloved mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) after ruthless casino mogul Willy Bank (Al Pacino) betrays and hospitalizes him. With Reuben’s well-being at stake, Danny and his team devise an elaborate scheme to sabotage Bank’s new Las Vegas casino on its grand opening night, seeking to ensure his massive financial downfall. 🃏💥

The plan to take down Bank’s high-tech fortress-like casino is layered with high stakes, complex technology, and a flurry of creative obstacles. Team members Linus (Matt Damon), Rusty (Brad Pitt), and the rest of the crew bring their specialized skills into play to rig the casino’s games, hack security, and disrupt the prized five-diamond rating system—every element meticulously crafted to turn Bank’s night into a disaster.
