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)…
