When one night Kip messes up stealing some cars, Memphis gets called back to the life he got out of.

And so Memphis, with the help of longtime friend Otto Halliwell (Robert Duvall) reassembles his old crew which includes sexy Sara “Sway” Wayland” (Academy award-winner Angelina Jolie), a renegade white-haired mechanic by day, bartender by night, to pull off the biggest mission ever.

Can the team pull this assignment off and collect $200,000 in cash? Will Kip finally realize that car boosting is dangerous? And can Memphis escape Castlebeck and the cops? It’s a long shot, but they may have a chance. Cut to the chase. |
