Story Synopsis:
Based on the novel by David Baldacci, Eastwood stars as Luther Whitney, a master thief close to retirement. He has chosen a high-profile target as his last career job. Luther’s mission—to break into the political powerbroker’s mansion and raid the hidden vault. In the midst of the burglary, Luther witnesses a bizarre murder involving the President of the United States (Hackman), the President’s Chief of Staff (Davis) and two secret service agents. Almost immediately, a cover-up is set in motion with Luther implicated by the perpetrators.
