A group of criminals steal a safe full of gold, and plan to use the gold for their own guilty pleasures. Soon, one of them, Steve, takes the gold from them, and kills the leader. A few years later and teaming up with the dead leader's save-cracking daughter, Stella, they get ready to take what rightfully belongs to them. Lead by Charlie, they go to Hollywood to steal from Steve. This film is filled with action, and unlike other big summer blockbusters, this has wit and humour.
