Tower Heist

Financial giant Arthur Shaw has just been placed under house arrest in his luxury New York City penthouse for cleaning out his investors to the tune of two billion dollars.

Meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the financial spectrum, Josh Kovacs earns a modest living as the manager of The Tower — the luxurious building where Shaw resides. Upon learning that the building staffers who entrusted Shaw with their retirement funds are about to lose their life savings, and that the thief will likely get off scot-free, Josh convinces a small group of Tower employees and a downtrodden former resident that Shaw has stashed a million-dollar safety net in his penthouse, and that it’s theirs for the taking if they can just slip past security.  Josh as he recruits crafty swindler Slide to help get their money back.
