Summaries

A thief works with his father and son to forge a painting by Monet and steal the original. Together, they plan the heist of their lives.

The world's best art forger (John Travolta) makes a deal with a crime syndicate to get an early release from prison, but in return he must pull off an impossible heist: he must forge a painting by Claude Monet, steal the original from a museum, and replace it with a replica so perfect that no one will notice. He enlists the help of his father (Christopher Plummer) and son (Tye Sheridan), and together they plan the heist of their lives.—Lionsgate

In Boston, forger Raymond J. Cutter has only 10 more months from his sentence to be released from prison. However, he asks his lawyer to contact criminal lord Keegan to be immediately released, despite the advice of his lawyer and his best friend Carl. Keegan's bribed judge releases him and Ray goes home, where he meets his father Joseph Cutter, who raises his estranged 15-year-old son Will. Ray visits Keegan in his nightclub and learns that he must forge a painting by Monet to pay his debts. While leaving the nightclub, Ray stumbles upon the uncovered Agent Paisley and becomes his person of interest. Ray needs to forge the painting while he grants three wishes to his terminal son, who is stage-four brain cancer--while being pressed by Keegan and Paisley and her partner Detective Devlin, who are investigating him because of his connection with Keegan.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
