Foolproof Plot Summary
What happens in Foolproof from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Ryan Reynolds as Kevin, Kristin Booth as Sam, and Joris Jarsky as Rob play a game they call Foolproof, in which they craft detailed, working blueprints to infiltrate and burgle various targets. They do not actually execute the heists; instead they simulate them, relying on the same technical and physical abilities needed to pull off the jobs. They adhere to strict rules: they must use identical equipment and infrastructure as the target, and they forbid firearms of any kind, a discipline they treat as a kind of intellectual sport rather than a crime.
