Plot Summary

• Half-brothers Andrew (Scott Eastwood) and Garret Foster (Freddie Thorp) operate as international car thieves, targeting high-end cars. They steal a rare Bugatti (1957 Typer 57SC Atlantic, one of only 2 in the world) in transit after it is purchased at auction in France for $41 million. They intercept the truck in which the car was being transported and drive away with the car from inside the truck. Andrew and Garret's father owned a motor garage and his crowning high point in life was when a 1962 Ferrari rolled into his shop for an oil change. The brothers were unaware that the car was purchased by Marseille crime boss Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian).Morier's men capture them when they attempt to sell the car to the buyer Mr Panahi (Moussa Maaskri), who knew that the car belonged to Morier and had already knocked the brother's unconscious. They take them to Morier's house, and Morier shows them his garage full of cars. Morier has many rare cars in his collection including an Alfa Romeo 158 (finished first in the 1950 Monte Carlo Grand Prix), Dodge 6 with right hand steering (modified for Al Capone himself), Covette C-1, 1964 Shelby Cobra, Austin-Healy, Jaguar Type-E, BMW 327, 1967 Mustang, Porsche 356, Jaguar XK120, and a 1969 Aston Martin.Morier reveals that he comes from poverty and his mother worked for a fishmonger, and his father worked for an antiques salesman, restoring old rifles. Now, Morier is the biggest black-tar importer in all of Europe. Morier kills Panahi for attempting to buy his car. For Morier, the cars are a reflection of how far he has come already and how far he intends to go.Morier then attempts to shoot them, but to escape their punishment, the brothers offer to help Morier complete his collection of cars by stealing a rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (worth $38,000,000) owned by ruthless tycoon and rival, Max Klemp (Clemens Schick). Morier agrees but sets the condition that the theft must be carried out within one week.Max Klemp is from West Berlin and was born into riches. He is a violent genius, who completed his MBA at the age of 15 from University of Munich. He was prone to violence to get what he wanted in business. At the age of 30, his father handed him the reins of the business and gifted him the Ferrari 250 GTO. Morier hates Klemp, who has undercut Morier on several business deals in the past, and has taken over Morier's territory in Marseille, which Morier wants to defend at all costs.The brothers hurriedly recruit a team in Marseille to carry out the job, including Andrew's girlfriend Stephanie (Ana De Armas) and her pickpocket friend Devin (Gaia Weiss). Andrew tells Garret that this will be his last job before he marries Stephanie. Leon (Joshua Fitoussi) is the demolitions expert. They hire 4 drivers to join their crew.They also have to cope with Morier's cousin Laurent (Abraham Pelaga) keeping tabs on their operation, as well as a pair of Interpol agents Officer Closson (Pierre-Marie Mosconi) and Officer Depaul (Frederic Anscombre).

Stephanie, locked in a room in Morier's house, attempts to seduce Laurent and fails, although she manages to steal his key to the door and escapes. She sets off the house alarms and escapes with a shotgun to meet Andrew, Garret and their team at the door. Morier had been lured out of the house, as he insisted to be part of the crew of the morning of the theft, but he was left waiting by the rendezvous point. His cars were now unprotected.Morier realizes that the events that led up to this point have been part of an elaborate diversion to allow them to steal the rest of his own car collection.
