The Heist ( Sky Cinema )

The Heist is a romantic action comedy heist film directed by Seth MacFarlane and written by James Jacobs. It is a spin-off to Money, written by Sam Chrystal.

Rated 16 for very strong language, violence, sex and sex references.

Plot:

The film opens with a man named Paul, who breaks the fourth wall and tells the audience that he’s the planner.

Paul then goes for a drive and has flashbacks to his childhood in 1990, where he lived with his parents Luke & Sinead, who are constantly arguing about their rent.

When Paul graduates from school, his parents tell him he won’t be going to college because they’re 6 months behind on their rent. Luke offers to train Paul as an electrician like him.

One day, when Paul sees his parents having sex in the living room, he mocks his father’s accent and flashes his genitals at a group of passing women. Luke sees this and angrily disowns Paul for his behavior. Paul then disowns his father as well and Luke has an accident. Paul then leaves for New Orleans, guilty for what happened to his father and becomes a successful planner.

Paul arrives at his estranged parents’s house and reconnects with Luke, who is paralyzed following the accident. They then reconcile.

When Paul leaves, he is approached by a mysterious figure named Mr. Bullock, who hires him to be a part of a group of criminals in order to steal the Mona Lisa. Paul agrees.

Next, Bullock decides to recruit Martin, a ladies man, gambler and semi-retired mixed martial arts fighter called “The Muscle” who works for the criminal gang called The Loan Sharks. When Martin forgets the money he owes them, their leader Sean sends his men after Martin & Bullock.

Bullock, Martin & Paul then hijack a car and an epic chase ensues across town. They then hide in a gun shop where they load themselves with weapons and prepare to fight The Loan Sharks.
