Den of Thieves (2018)

In Los Angeles, a team of former MARSOC Marines led by Ray Merrimen hijack an armored truck. The ensuing shootout with police leaves several dead, including one of Merrimen’s crew, as the hijackers escape with the empty truck. LASD Detective Nick O’Brien investigates the robbery, making the recently paroled Merrimen his prime suspect. Nick’s team kidnaps Donnie Wilson, a bartender who confesses to acting as the thieves’ unarmed getaway driver. He describes a large sum of cash stolen from a stadium by the crew, but denies knowing their future plans and is released.

Merrimen and his crew prepare to rob the heavily guarded Federal Reserve: with approximately $30 million in old bills removed from circulation each day, they plan to steal the untraceable money before it is shredded. Nick’s team tails Donnie, who is hired as a Chinese food delivery driver, allowing him to deliver inside the Federal Reserve. A confrontation with Nick leads Merrimen’s crew to suspect Donnie is an informant. Interrogated at gunpoint, he admits he was questioned by Nick; to his surprise, Merrimen orders him to tell Nick when the heist is taking place. Donnie informs Nick but denies knowing the location. Nick sleeps with Merrimen’s girlfriend, who – acting on Merrimen’s instructions – reveals the crew will be robbing a bank in Pico Rivera.
