Life should be easy after a sterling career as a master thief. Though he is now retired to an island paradise, trouble comes looking for Max Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) when his former nemesis from the FBI (Woody Harrelson) shows up with news of a big score rumored to be on the horizon. With a savvy local cop (Salma Hayek) also in the wings, a new cat-and-mouse game of friendship, suspicion and thievery is afoot.
