Heist Thriller How to Rob a Bank Opens Sept 4, 2026

A new heist thriller blending crime with viral fame will arrive in theaters this fall. The film "How to Rob a Bank," directed by David Leitch, follows a crew of social media-savvy bank robbers who broadcast their crimes online, drawing the pursuit of law enforcement. The movie is scheduled for release on September 4, 2026.

The story centers on a group led by Nicholas Hoult's character, who turns their robberies into a viral online show also titled "How to Rob a Bank." Their growing fame attracts the attention of a veteran FBI agent, played by John C. Reilly. To track the crew, the agent enlists a brilliant software engineer and hacker named Reagan Gardner, portrayed by Zoë Kravitz, who is under house arrest. Officials offer to drop all charges against her if she assists in the investigation.

The trailer suggests the robbers operate with a moral code, framing their actions as a critique of a corrupt financial system. In one scene, they leave a pregnant woman unharmed and provide money for her child's future. Their ultimate target appears to be a bank run by a character played by Christian Slater, motivated by a personal grievance from Hoult's character's past.
