Short description

Jimmy Logan has just lost his job, and his brother Clyde, a bartender and Iraq War veteran with a prosthetic arm, is tired of being mocked by customers. Convinced their family is cursed, the two brothers from West Virginia decide to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Coca-Cola 600, one of NASCAR's biggest races. Their sister Mellie joins the scheme, but the plan depends on Joe Bang, an expert safecracker and demolitions man who is currently behind bars. Getting him out, and getting the money, proves far messier than the brothers expected.

Steven Soderbergh directed Logan Lucky, the twenty-fourth of the thirty-five films he has directed in chronological order, arriving after Side Effects and before Unsane. Jules Asner wrote the screenplay, and Mark Johnson, Gregory Jacobs and Channing Tatum produced. Channing Tatum plays Jimmy, Adam Driver plays Clyde, Daniel Craig plays Joe Bang, and Riley Keough plays Mellie, with Katie Holmes and Katherine Waterston in supporting roles. The production involved 87 credited cast members and 125 credited crew.

Made for about 29 million US dollars, the film took in roughly 48 million worldwide, a modest multiple of its budget. It holds a 7.5 out of 10 critics' rating from 288 reviews, higher than its audience scores of 7 out of 10 on IMDb, from 176,000 votes, and 6.7 out of 10 on TMDB, from 3,954 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Katherine Heigl was cast for one of the roles in the film, but she was forced to leave the project due to pregnancy, and the role went to Katie Holmes.
  • When a robbery was reported on the television news, one of the people reporters interviewed for comment mentioned Ocean. This was a reference to the Danny Ocean franchise and his friends. Director Steven Soderbergh filmed three films in this franchise.
  • The police officer who stopped the car with the old woman is former racer Carl Edwards, a two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series runner-up (2008 and 2011) and a NASCAR Nationwide Series champion (2007).
  • Actor Daniel Craig bleached his hair for the role of Joe Bang.
  • Clyde lost his hand during a trip to Iraq. In reality, Adam Driver served in the Marine Corps before becoming an actor. He was supposed to be sent to Iraq, but he was injured and discharged before deployment.
  • The list on Jimmy's refrigerator is the same one that appeared in Andrew Jenkins's film "The Bank Job" (2007).
