Showtime has released the official trailer for the original film, Heist 88, starring two-time Emmy Award-winning actor Courtney B. Vance.
About The Film:
Inspired by true events, Heist 88 is an unbelievable story centered on Jeremy Horne (Vance), a criminal mastermind with an innate ability to convince anyone to do just about anything, who decides to pull one last job before going to prison.
He recruits four young bank employees to steal close to $80 million dollars in a daring and brazen assault on the U.S. banking system.
The film takes place in a time before widespread computerization and the vast cybersecurity of today.
