Masterminds

Masterminds is a crime comedy set in the late 1990s in the southern United States. David Ghantt, played by Zach Galifianakis, works for an armored car company, driving millions of dollars between banks that the money does not belong to. His routine is brightened only by his co-worker Kelly Campbell, portrayed by Kristen Wiig, and it is Kelly who draws him into a scheme devised by Steve Chambers, played by Owen Wilson. Together with a group of inexperienced criminals, they set out to steal seventeen million dollars from the company's vault. The robbery succeeds, but the trail of evidence left behind proves hard to hide, and David soon finds the money and his freedom slipping away from him. The film is loosely based on a real armored car robbery carried out in North Carolina.

Jared Hess directed the film, the fourth of the eight features listed for him, arriving between Gentlemen Broncos and Ninety-Five Senses. The screenplay comes from Hubbel Palmer, Emily Spivey and Chris Bowman, with John Goldwyn and Lorne Michaels producing. Alongside Galifianakis, Wilson and Wiig, the cast includes Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Jason Sudeikis, part of a credited cast of 73 with a credited crew of 249.

Made for a budget of 25 million dollars, the film took in roughly 29 million dollars worldwide. It holds a rating of 5.8 out of 10 on IMDb from more than 58,000 votes, and the same rating on TMDB from around 1,900 votes.
