By What happens when bank robbers become social media celebrities? That’s the question at the heart of How to Rob a Bank, the upcoming action-comedy from David Leitch, and the first trailer promises a wildly entertaining mix of heists, humor, and high-speed chaos.
Known for action hits like Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, and The Fall Guy, Leitch appears to be bringing his signature blend of stylish action and explosive stunt work to a modern heist story with a distinctly viral twist.
Nicholas Hoult stars as the charismatic leader of a crew that doesn’t just rob banks—they livestream their crimes to millions of followers. As their online fame explodes, the group becomes unlikely folk heroes by redistributing money and targeting institutions viewed as corrupt. But fame comes with consequences, and their growing popularity soon attracts the attention of law enforcement.
Zoe Kravitz plays a brilliant software engineer tasked with tracking the elusive robbers, while John C. Reilly steps in as a veteran FBI agent determined to shut down the operation before it spirals completely out of control. The result is a fast-moving cat-and-mouse chase packed with daring robberies, car chases, and plenty of social commentary.
With its blend of action, satire, and internet-age absurdity, How to Rob a Bank looks ready to give the heist genre a fresh 21st-century makeover. Watch it only in theaters September 4.
