Okay so I am watching Oceans Eleven. Their heist is pretty simple and straight to the point which why I love the movie. But I was thinking, what would be a good twist to a simple heist movie?
All of the criminals in on the heist are wearing masks. When they do the big mask-removal towards the end of the film, the master criminal is revealed to be M. Night Shyamalan. It's such meta twist, the audience will be stunned.
.
What about one of the guys is a cop and turns on them at the end by shooting his team and taking the money for himself?
Yup.FBI infiltrator goes rogue - kills most of the crew after the heist.
the money heist is a cover for the real crime of revenge
Been done to death.And the other crime could be stealing a valuable diamond..
The crew breaks into the basement vault of a bank by using sophisticated but small boring equipment (this actually happened years ago). This bank is built like a fortress and the vault is several stories underground. The first part of the movie has flashbacks of the crew planning the operation and getting ready to start the plan. Lots of subplots and drama among the crew and families (who don't know what the crew is up to).Their goal is the large stock of cash in the vault but they also want to see what is in the safe deposit boxes since the leader thinks that people hide a lot of wealth they don't want to declare. During these flashbacks there are always TV's playing in the background with stations like CNN, FOX, MSNBC on. The volume is set low but if you pay attention you can hear and see that there is a world crisis going on. Lots of troop movements, terrorist attacks taking place and reports of panic buying in the US and other countries.
Toward the end of the movie the crew has made it into the vault area and are dumfounded by the amount of cash in the vault. Then they start hitting the safe deposit boxes and find even more loot than the leader thought possible. They decide that since they have factored extra time in the getaway they should take everything possible. Their escape route is through a series of sewers and storm drains that come out at a river. Just before they get everything loaded (they are using ATV's with trailers to remove the loot) they feel several thudding vibrations. They think someone is trying to get into the vault from up above and that they have been discovered. They make their escape but when they get to the outlet there is debris covering it. They have some explosives as a backup so they set charges and blow the debris out of the way. When they emerge they discover that the city has been nuked and they are screwed.
Sure.Would a Brinks truck be too easy?
