After five years of incarceration, Debbie Ocean (Bullock) is released from prison – and almost immediately sets plans into motion to pull off the heist of the century: a $150 million diamond necklace that is due to worn by world-famous actress Daphne Kluger (Hathaway) at the forthcoming Met Gala. In order to have any chance of nabbing it, however, she and her partner-in-crime Lou (Blanchett) need to put together a team of specialists, including jeweller Amita (Kaling), street thief Constance (Awkwafina), expert fence Tammy (Paulson), hacker Nine Ball (Rihanna) and fashion designer Rose (Carter)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
