“Ocean’s 13”.
Action, Crime, Thriller |
Ocean’s Thirteen is a American heist film directed by Steven Soderbergh. It is the third and final film in the Ocean’s Trilogy, following 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve. All the male cast members reprise their roles from the previous installments, but neither Julia Roberts nor Catherine Zeta-Jones returns. Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin join the cast as the characters’ new targets.
Filming began in July 2006 in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, based on a script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien. The film was screened as an Out of Competition presentation at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, and was released on June 8, 2007 in the United States. The film was well-received and grossed $311 million worldwide, making it the sixteenth-highest-grossing film of 2007.
Reuben Tishkoff invests in building a hotel-casino on the Las Vegas strip; against advice from his friend and erstwhile criminal partner, Danny Ocean, he involves himself with wealthy investor Willy Bank, whose thugs coerce him into signing over his ownership stake. Tishkoff suffers a heart attack and becomes bedridden. Ocean offers Bank a chance to set things right, given his long history in Las Vegas and the fact that he “shook Sinatra’s hand”, but Bank refuses and completes construction of the hotel, renamed “The Bank”. To avenge Tishkoff, Ocean gathers his partners-in-crime and plans to ruin Bank on the opening night of the hotel.
