Takers

A tight-knit crew of professional bank robbers pulls off elaborate, carefully planned heists and then disappears into a life of luxury, staying quiet between jobs. Their team includes Gordon Jennings, John Rahway, A.J. and the brothers Jake and Jesse Attica. When a former member named Ghost leaves prison and talks the group into an armored-car robbery worth $20 million, the job grows far riskier than their earlier work. A relentless police detective, Jack Welles, is closing in on the crew, determined to catch them before they can pull it off.
