Charlie (Mark Wahlberg) could have spent the rest of his life with the box of gold he robbed, but the betrayal of his accomplice Steve (Edward Norton) made him mess up. Not only did Steve swallow up a huge sum of money and flee to Los Angeles, but he also caused Charlie to suffer in prison. Now Charlie, who has just come out of prison, is full of ambition to settle accounts with Steve. He recruited a master of thieves, the beautiful Stella (Charlize Theron), who is responsible for opening safes, and he and other partners, worked hard to design a smooth road for quick escape. Stella went to lure Steve, but was seen through by the cunning Steve. Charlie quickly destroyed the traffic light system in Los Angeles, and there was a spectacular traffic jam in Los Angeles. However, to their surprise, escaping was not so simple-Steve did not drive to chase, he used a helicopter to chase them over them. The underground tunnels and streets of Los Angeles were in chaos.
