The Town
Director: Ben Affleck
Actors: Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm
PlotIn the gritty streets of Charlestown, Boston, a quartet of lifelong friends have turned to bank robbery as their means to survive, led by the meticulous Doug MacRay. Charlestown is a breeding ground for bank and armored car robbers, and Doug is a master of this dangerous trade, carrying out his profession with precision and the help of his volatile friend, Jem. During a tense heist, they take bank manager Claire Keesey hostage, but release her unharmed, though shaken. Afterward, Doug tracks Claire to ensure she doesn't hold any incriminating evidence that could lead back to him and his crew.
As Doug finds himself drawn to Claire, they begin an unexpected romance, complicating his life even further. Unbeknownst to her, Doug grapples with the conflict of colliding worlds—the affection for a woman whose life he has disrupted and the loyalty to his friends, who plan more dangerous and lucrative heists. Meanwhile, an unrelenting FBI Special Agent, Adam Frawley, is closing in. Focused on taking down Doug and his crew, Frawley's investigation intensifies, as he meticulously pieces together the clues of their latest job. Doug faces the difficult decision to either stay loyal to his crime roots or leave it all behind for a chance at a new beginning.
