Ocean's Twelve (2004)

It's been three years since Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his crew – fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Bernie Mac) – pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life…but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's wife Tess (Julia Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back – with interest – or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn't the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean's Eleven…

To score the cash, Danny will have to risk his life and his chance of reconciling with Tess. But if it all goes according to his intricate, nearly impossible plan, he won't have to choose between his stake in the heist and his high-stakes reunion with Tess- or will he?
