Synopsis
In the 23rd century, Earth has been split into multiple planets, all collectively known as the Galactic Federation. At its center is Alpha: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, criminals, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the cosmos, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of mysterious dark threats, economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, five very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Zayne West (John Boyega), a master thief, whose biggest job is a lot more difficult than it would be; Kowalski (Steve Carell), Zayne's trusted partner in crime; Suarez (Ana de Armas), a pizza delivery girl who finds herself in the middle of the criminal underworld thanks to a predictcament; MC Clip (Michael Peña), a violent bounty hunter driven by the extreme amount of money of targets; and last but not least, the one and only, Teeny-Weeny, the lovable, non-binary partner in crime of Clip. When a dangerous, evil threat emerges, the group risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
