CRIME 101 (2026)

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, Corey Hawkins, Monica Barbaro, Nick Nolte, Peter Banifaz, Babak Tafti and Devon Bostick. Directed by Bart Layton.

Davis is an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists have mystified police. He’s planning his biggest ever score — hoping it’ll be his last — when his path collides with Sharon, a disillusioned insurance executive whom he’s forced to work with, and Orman, a rival thief with far more disturbing methods than Davis's.

As the multi-million dollar heist approaches, relentless detective Lt Lubesnik closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher, and the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Each of them is soon forced to confront the cost of their respective choices — and the realisation that there's no turning back.
