He soon discovers that the Bank of Credit and Commerce International has secretly and illegally taken ownership of First American Bank shares in Washington D.C., and resolves to take them down with the ship…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Imagine this as an alternate universe Breaking Bad, wherein Bryan Cranston actually didn’t want to go into the drugs business, and The Infiltrator will be more enjoyable than it already is.
