Crime 101

On the verge of his final score, a crafty thief named Mike Davis crosses paths with Sharon, a disillusioned insurance broker standing at a personal crossroads. Their connection pulls both into a meticulously planned multi million dollar heist. Meanwhile, Detective Lou Lubesnick chases every lead, determined to derail the plan and bring the pair to justice. The film follows a tense, high stakes dance where trust frays under pressure and the line between friend and foe blurs. As loyalties shift, each choice edges them closer to a reckoning that could redefine what they fear and what they want most. Power and money tempt characters into risky alliances, while chase tests patience, nerves, and belief that perfect plan can survive truth.

Released in 2026, Crime 101 is directed by Bart Layton and built from an original screenplay by Don Winslow. The cast blends Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and Monica Barbaro into a tense, character driven heist drama.

Box office numbers have not been released publicly and no reliable worldwide gross is available at this time. The film’s performance will come into focus as more markets roll out and word of mouth shapes audience expectations in coming weeks.

Initial responses highlight the film's tight pacing and the uneasy chemistry between Mike Davis and Sharon, as well as Mark Ruffalo's methodical detective work. Themes revolve around greed, trust, and the cost of ambition, with moral choices complicated by devotion, fear, and the lure of a flawless score for all.

As a 2026 release, its immediate cultural footprint remains to be seen, but the combination of Hemsworth Berry and Ruffalo under Layton's direction could spark conversations about blue collar crime and ethical lines in modern thrillers. Visual choices and dialogue are likely to fuel discussion among fans in weeks ahead.
