Righteous Thieves
Director: Anthony Nardolillo
Actors: Cam Gigandet, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Lisa Vidal
PlotIn an effort to recover priceless artwork stolen by the Nazis during World War II, a cunning and resourceful leader assembles a team of skilled thieves with specialized talents. Their mission: to infiltrate a secured facility and reclaim these masterpieces for the sake of historical justice. Each member brings unique skills to the table—one excelling as a master of disguise, another with unparalleled technical abilities, and another skilled at planning heists with meticulous detail. The team's leader is driven by a deeply personal motive, rooted in family history, which fuels a determination that sets high stakes for the operation.
As the heist unfolds, the group navigates numerous challenges and sophisticated security systems while grappling with trust issues and the moral complexities of stealing back what was once stolen in the first place. Unexpected alliances and betrayals put their mission at risk, forcing them to adapt quickly to unforeseen circumstances. Tension mounts as they race against time and enemy forces who have their own nefarious interest in the loot. The art itself represents more than financial value; it holds cultural significance and emotional weight, making the mission a battle between greed and righteousness. With every step, they draw closer to either a triumphant recovery or an ultimate failure that could cost them everything.
