Ocean’s 8 Dvd

Ocean’s 8 (stylized onscreen as Ocean’s Eight) is a 2018 American heist comedy film directed by Gary Ross and written by Ross and Olivia Milch. The film is both a continuation and a spin-off from Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy and features an ensemble cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina. The film follows a group of women led by Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny Ocean, who plan a sophisticated heist at the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

After the release of Ocean’s Thirteen in 2007, Soderbergh stated he had no intentions of making a fourth film, citing his desire to have the series “go out on top”. However, an all-female spin-off was announced in October 2015, and much of the cast signed on by August 2016. Filming took place from October 2016 to March 2017 around Manhattan.

Ocean’s 8 premiered at Alice Tully Hall on June 5, 2018, and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on June 8, 2018, 11 years to the day after the release of Ocean’s Thirteen. It grossed $297 million worldwide and received a lukewarm response from critics, who applauded the cast but found the film undemanding and less consistent than the films in Soderbergh’s trilogy.

Plot

Newly paroled con artist Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), the late Danny Ocean’s younger sister, convinces former partner-in-crime Lou (Cate Blanchett) to join her in a new heist. They assemble their team: bankrupt fashion designer Rose Weil (Helena Bonham-Carter); jewelry maker Amita (Mindy Kaling), who is eager to move out of her mother’s house; security hacker Nine Ball (Rihanna); street hustler and pickpocket Constance (Awkwafina); and profiteer Tammy (Sarah Paulson), who fences stolen goods out of her suburban home.

Debbie plans to steal the Toussaint, a $150 million Cartier necklace, during the upcoming Met Gala and use film star Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway) as an unwitting accomplice. The team manipulates Daphne into hiring Weil and convinces Cartier to loan Daphne the Toussaint. They digitally scan the necklace to manufacture a worthless cubic zirconia replica. Tammy secures a job at Vogue and gains access to the gala and also gets Lou hired as a nutritionist while Debbie leads Daphne to invite art dealer Claude Becker (Richard Armitage), whose betrayal sent Debbie to prison, as her date. Lou confronts Debbie for planning revenge against Becker, but Debbie reassures her that it will not jeopardize their plan.

When Rose learns the Toussaint can only be unclasped by a special magnet carried by Cartier’s security detail, Nine Ball enlists her younger sister Veronica’s help in creating a duplicate. At the gala, Lou spikes Daphne’s soup, causing her to run to the women’s room, where Nine Ball has created a blind spot for the museum’s security cameras. As the male Cartier’s guards wait outside and Daphne vomits into a toilet, Constance deftly removes the necklace from Daphne’s neck and sneaks it to Amita, who splits it into smaller pieces of jewelry. When Daphne reappears with the necklace missing, the museum is sealed and a search of the premises and guests commences. It ends, however, when Tammy “finds” the duplicate necklace. Constance slips the Toussaint pieces to the team to smuggle out, and Debbie plants a piece of it on Becker. After the heist, Daphne joins the ladies, revealing that she already knew about the robbery which she figured out by their actions. She asks for the eighth part in exchange for saving them from jail.

When the necklace is returned to Cartier’s, the switch is discovered, and insurance investigator John Frazier (James Corden) is assigned to investigate. Having crossed paths with the Oceans before, Frazier immediately suspects Debbie, but her careful presence on the gala’s video footage gives her an unbeatable alibi. She tells Frazier she may know who stole the necklace. Daphne visits Becker and sends Frazier a picture of the jewel Debbie planted. To further frame Becker, Debbie hires actresses posing as elderly socialites to sell the Toussaint off piece-by-piece and deposit the money into an account in Becker’s name. The police take Becker into custody.

As the eight celebrate their success, Lou reveals the heist’s true target: while the gala was being evacuated, she and The Amazing Yen, an acrobat who worked with Danny, replaced a Met display of royal jewels with replicas, escaping with gems even more valuable than the Toussaint. With their shares of the score much larger than they expected, each member of the team goes her separate way: Amita travels to Paris with a man she meets on Tinder; Weil pays off her debts and opens her own store; Constance buys a spacious loft in the city and becomes a YouTuber; Tammy expands her business in stolen goods; Nine Ball opens a pool hall; Daphne becomes a film director (and is shown directing a look alike); Lou takes her motorcycle on a cross-country road trip; and Debbie mixes and enjoys a martini at Danny’s tomb, knowing he would be proud of her.
