"Rob a Bank or Go Viral": David Leitch's new action film about the criminal age of likes

In 2026, crimes no longer hide in the shadows — they are streamed live. That’s the core idea behind David Leitch’s explosive new thriller “How to Rob a Bank,” which promises to turn a classic heist into a global spectacle.

This is not just a story about bank robbers. It’s a story about how, in a world where attention has become currency, even crime turns into content.

At the center of the story is a team of high-tech criminals who don’t just plan perfect heists — they broadcast them in real time.

Every move, every step, every second of risk becomes part of a digital spectacle for thousands, then millions of viewers.

But there’s a problem: the more viral they become, the closer the system gets to them.

Because in a game driven by virality, algorithms don’t only work in your favor.

Opposing the crew is an unusual duo:

a seasoned FBI agent

a brilliant software engineer

Together, they try to decode the digital trail the criminals leave behind after every stream.

And this is where things get interesting: it’s no longer just a chase. It’s a war of speed, data, and attention.

Whoever “reads” the digital reality first wins.

The film brings together actors you would hardly expect in one project — and that’s exactly what makes it explosive:

Nicholas Hoult

Zoë Kravitz

Anna Sawai

Rhenzy Feliz

Christian Slater

Pete Davidson

John C. Reilly

This isn’t just a cast — it’s a collision of characters, styles, and cinematic energy.

Director David Leitch has long been known for turning action into a lifestyle. But this time, he goes further.

“How to Rob a Bank” is not only about heists. It’s about how:

digital popularity becomes a weapon

likes influence real-world decisions

and public exposure can destroy even the perfect plan

It’s a film about a generation that can no longer “log off.”
