Based Upon:
The 1960 Rat Pack film starring Frank Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and plenty of their friends.
In a 21st century version of the Rat Pack, the goal with this film is to assemble
a cast of A-List stars that would probably not all get to work
together in any other way. It's expected that most of the bigger stars
will take fractions of their standard salaries for back-end profits
Summary
Dapper Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is a man of action. Less than
24 hours into his parolefrom a New Jersey penitentiary, the wry, charismatic thief is
already rolling out his next plan. Following three rules -- don't hurt
anybody, don't steal from anyone who doesn't deserve it, and play the game
like you've got nothing to lose -- Danny orchestrates the most sophisticated,
elaborate casino heist in history. In one night, Danny's handpicked 11-man crew
of specialists -- including an ace card sharp (Brad Pitt), a master pickpocket (Matt Damon),
and a demolition genius (Don Cheadle) -- will attempt to steal over $150 million from three Las
Vegas casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), the elegant, ruthless entrepreneur who
just happens to be dating Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts).
