Gerard Butler Stars in the First Trailer for Den of Thieves
Playing like a Poundland Heat, Gerard Butler, fresh from failing to whip up a box office storm with Geostorm, is back on the beat in the cops and robbers thriller, Den of Thieves.
The film follows a notorious gang of bank robbers led by the likes of Pablo Schreiber and 50 Cent, who have set their sights on the big one. $100 million in cash is removed from circulation in the States each day, and transferred to the Federal Reserve to be destroyed. So the crooks' idea is to grab it before that happens... Easy, right?
Well, anyone who has played Mafia 3 knows, this doesn’t end well for those concerned.
Hot on the crims tail is an elite unit of the Los Angeles County's Sheriff's Department, commanded by maverick officer Nick Flanagan (Butler), a man who plays by his own rules and always gets his man…you hope.
Co-Written by London Has Fallen writer Christian Gudegast, who had been sitting on this one for nearly a decade, and steps up to direct after working on the script with Paul Scheuring, Den of Thieves will be out on 2 February 2018.
