Ocean's Thirteen

Danny Ocean and his crew return for a new target with a personal sting. A ruthless casino owner named Willy Bank has betrayed a longtime ally, leaving the team with a chance to settle the score in a way that plays to their strengths. Ocean rallies Rusty Ryan and the rest of the trusted crew, crafts a plan that hinges on inside knowledge, careful timing, and a knack for turning a casino’s rules against it. No strangers to danger, they recruit help from an unlikely source, testing loyalties and pushing their own limits. The mission remains a high-pressured balance between precision and improvisation as they weigh risk against payback. The stakes rise as the plan unfolds and loyalties are tested.
