After the one-two-three punch of “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Deadpool 2,” and “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” movie audiences might be looking for something with a little less testosterone. Enter “Ocean’s 8.” The latest heist movie in the ‘Ocean’s’ franchise drops the titular number down to eight and ditches all those guys in favor of some of the biggest female names in the industry.
Much like the other entries in the franchise, the plot of the film is pretty inconsequential. It’s a heist film. So, you have a thing that a group of eclectic, but specifically skilled, thieves must steal, while also evading the authorities. In ‘8,’ the thing is a necklace worth $150 million, and the thieves include Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rhianna, Awkwafina, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, and Helena Bonham Carter.
In the newest trailer for the film, you get to meet the eight ladies at the center of the story and a quick little bit about them. It’s about what you would expect from the film, which is sure to have quips and banter for days and a group of highly skilled actors (plus Rhianna) having a lot of fun. In the summer movie season, that’s about all you can ask for, right?
“Ocean’s 8” hits theaters on June 8.
Here’s the synopsis for the film:
Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting — that’s how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it’s going to take — a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, including jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target — a necklace that’s worth more than $150 million.
