Money Plane 2020

Jack “Reese,” a skilled thief with a taste for high-stakes gambling, navigates a perilous predicament following a botched heist. The prized Asger Jorn painting, The Disturbing Duckling, has disappeared from its museum display, leaving Reese alongside his team—Isabella Voltaic, Trey Peterson, and Iggy—with nothing but regrets. As law enforcement closes in and infamous gang leader Darius “The Rumble” Grouch looms menacingly, Reese must reckon with the reality of his mounting debt to Grouch.

Faced with straightforward demands from Grouch—settle your debt by executing one last job, or face dire consequences—Reese is compelled to embark on a new assignment that will challenge both his skills as a thief and his loyalty to his loved ones. The mission involves infiltrating the luxurious airborne casino dubbed the Money Plane, catering to high rollers and underworld figures, to seize its substantial reserves of cryptocurrency and cash.

With the high-stakes adventure approaching, Reese confides in his loyal friend Harry Greer, entrusting him with the crucial task of safeguarding his family during his absence. Greer commits himself to investigate the circumstances surrounding the failed museum heist, aiming to uncover insights that could help Reese avoid repeating past mistakes.

When the day of the heist arrives, Reese, alongside Trey, adopts the roles of human traffickers named Monroe and McGillicuddy as they board the Money Plane. Isabella seamlessly blends in as one of the flight attendants, while the Concierge and the Bookkeeper welcome guests aboard, showcasing the lavish offerings inside the airborne casino and emphasizing a strict no-cheating policy.

As night descends, the stakes rise during a riveting game of Texas hold’em poker, where Trey unexpectedly finds success. Meanwhile, Jack seizes the moment to subdue the pilots, taking control of the aircraft and setting the stage for the impending climax of their mission. Meanwhile, Iggy diligently works behind the scenes to facilitate the cryptocurrency transfer while keeping Darius updated, much to Reese’s annoyance.

In a pivotal moment, Isabella seizes the chance to access the vault on the plane, resulting in a tense encounter with a watchful guard whose inability to sound the alarm leads to his grim fate. Amidst the chaos, Jack pauses to confer with Harry, who reveals a shocking discovery: the painting they initially aimed to steal was actually owned by Darius all along. This unexpected knowledge looms over their operation, impelling Jack and his crew to reassess their strategy amidst the unfolding heist.

As Trey and Isabella converge on the server room housing the cryptocurrency, Iggy establishes a connection between himself and the aircraft, initiating the crucial transfer process. However, their plot doesn’t go unnoticed, as two affluent guests onboard unexpectedly confront them, triggering a fierce skirmish. In their desperate fight for survival, Trey and Isabella bravely fend off the attackers, eventually victorious, while Iggy faces a barrage of threats from assassins apparently working for Grouch. Just as things appear dire, Harry swoops in for the rescue, utilizing a drone armed with a handgun to assist Iggy.

As pandemonium erupts within the plane, team members manage to deal with their foes, but Iggy’s digital progress stalls due to damage during the skirmish. With their systems compromised, they pivot to downloading the cryptocurrency onto a USB drive, a decision that inadvertently signals their breach to the Money Plane.

On the ground, Harry takes decisive action against a team of assassins sent to eliminate Jack at his residence. Meanwhile, the crew onboard reaches a collective agreement: rather than keeping the ill-gotten gains, they resolve to donate the stolen cryptocurrency to various charitable organizations worldwide, particularly those impacted by the Money Plane’s dubious clientele. This bold decision incites fury from Darius, who is left in shock when Jack presents a recording of Darius himself plotting to rob the Money Plane. Facing inevitable repercussions, the team escapes through an emergency exit door, allowing cash to tumble from their grasp as they make their getaway.

Ultimately, as the world watches events spiral in the aftermath of their audacious plan, an unexpected discovery surfaces in a nondescript warehouse in Istanbul. Two unsuspecting laborers accidentally uncover a painting shipping case, only to find that its contents have dramatically changed—a priceless masterpiece, The Disturbing Duckling, has been stealthily replaced with a convincing forgery.

Back at their safe havens, Jack and his crew relish the triumph of their heist. Their haul, initially valued at millions, sees a remarkable boost to approximately $60 million due to the immense worth of The Disturbing Duckling. Eager to ensure a comfortable retirement for all involved, Jack generously allocates the bounty among his crew and Harry, securing a financially stable future for each member.
