Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the second official trailer for How to Rob a Bank, an adrenaline-fuelled new crime thriller from acclaimed filmmaker David Leitch. The film promises a stylish mix of high-stakes bank heists, social media notoriety, FBI pursuit and a crew willing to risk everything for what they believe in. Headlined by Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz and Anna Sawai, the film appears to take the familiar bank robbery formula and give it a distinctly modern twist, where going viral can be just as dangerous as getting caught.
At the centre of How to Rob a Bank is a crew of social media-savvy bank robbers who aren't interested in keeping their crimes hidden. Instead, they broadcast their daring heists online, turning every robbery into a spectacle while using their growing platform to highlight what they see as corruption in the system. Their unconventional approach quickly transforms them from criminals operating in the shadows into viral personalities, but the attention comes with a major price—the more their fame grows, the harder it becomes to disappear.
The trailer introduces the unlikely pair tasked with bringing the crew down. A veteran FBI agent joins forces with a brilliant software engineer, creating a combination of old-school investigative instincts and cutting-edge technology. As the duo begins piecing together the robbers’ movements and closing in on their operation, the crew finds itself facing an increasingly sophisticated pursuit. What initially looks like a game of cat and mouse soon turns into a dangerous race against time, with both sides prepared to push beyond their usual limits.
What makes the setup particularly intriguing is the motivation behind the robberies. The crew isn't simply chasing money or the thrill of getting away with a crime. Their heists are tied to their beliefs and their desire to expose what they consider a corrupt system. That ideological layer gives the film another dimension, while their social media presence creates an unusual problem: every successful robbery increases their public profile, but also leaves behind another digital trail for investigators to follow. Their biggest weapon could therefore become the very thing that brings them down.
Leading the ensemble is Nicholas Hoult, joined by Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai and Rhenzy Feliz, with Christian Slater, Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly also featuring in the cast. The combination of established stars and performers known for very different screen personas gives How to Rob a Bank an eclectic ensemble, perfectly suited to a story that blends crime, technology, action and dark humour. The trailer hints at a crew whose personalities are as unpredictable as their increasingly ambitious plans.
The film is directed by David Leitch, the acclaimed American action filmmaker known for bringing kinetic action and slick visual storytelling to his projects. With How to Rob a Bank, Leitch appears to be taking that trademark energy into the world of modern crime, combining elaborate robberies with a contemporary social-media angle. The screenplay has been written by Mark Bianculli, with the story built around the collision between a crew seeking attention and authorities determined to turn that attention against them.
As the FBI agent and software engineer get closer, the stakes rise dramatically for the robbers. The crew is forced to decide just how far it is willing to go to protect its operation and its beliefs. Rather than backing down, however, they appear ready to attempt their most ambitious bank heist yet. That escalation forms the central hook of the new trailer, promising bigger risks, tighter escapes and a final operation where there may be no room for mistakes.
The film also taps into a particularly modern question about crime and celebrity: what happens when criminals deliberately turn themselves into online stars? In How to Rob a Bank, every heist becomes content, every getaway becomes part of their mythology and every follower potentially becomes another witness. The premise gives the movie a contemporary edge while retaining the classic ingredients of a crime thriller—law enforcement, elaborate planning, betrayal, pursuit and one seemingly impossible final job.
With its combination of David Leitch’s action-driven filmmaking, an ensemble cast and a social-media-fuelled crime premise, How to Rob a Bank is shaping up as a slick new addition to the heist-thriller space. The second trailer raises the stakes without giving away the entire game, leaving audiences to discover whether the crew can pull off its biggest robbery or whether the FBI's unlikely investigative duo will finally shut down their operation. How to Rob a Bank is scheduled to hit theatres on November 13, 2026.
