He’s about to break every rule he’s ever lived by — and he’s not the only one.
Get ready for an electrifying ride with Crime 101, the latest stylish crime thriller from visionary director Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter), based on the gripping novella by bestselling author Don Winslow.
The Mastermind, the Cop, and the Crossfire
At the heart of Crime 101 is Davis (Chris Hemsworth), a suave yet elusive career thief whose precision-timed heists have left authorities guessing for years. But now, Davis is planning the biggest — and hopefully final — job of his life.
To pull it off, he reluctantly teams up with Sharon (Halle Berry), a sharp but disillusioned insurance executive, and Orman (Barry Keoghan), a dangerous rival with no moral compass. Meanwhile, relentless detective Lt. Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo) is hot on Davis’s trail, drawing closer with every step.
With each character driven by desperation, desire, or revenge, the stakes escalate beyond control — and soon, the line between good and bad blurs into oblivion.
