Stanley Tucci is heading back into a life of crime (at least onscreen).
Masterplan, his new heist thriller, just dropped its trailer ahead of its Prime Video premiere.
The movie promises to blend a high-stakes art heist with an unexpectedly personal family story, and we’re already hooked on the idea.

The Story of Masterplan
Stanley Tucci stars as Roger, a former master thief who comes out of retirement for one final job: stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.
To pull it off, he recruits Chiara, a sharp Italian cybercrime expert played by Simona Tabasco, and Jay, a French explosives specialist played by Victor Belmondo.
As the job gets underway, Roger reveals a twist nobody saw coming—Chiara and Jay are actually long-lost siblings, and he’s their father.
The unlikely trio has to learn to work together as a team, and avoid killing each other, if they’re going to pull off the heist of the century, all while navigating the chaotic family reunion none of them ever asked for.
The Team Behind the Camera
Masterplan is directed by Thomas Vincent, known for his work on Reacher and Bodyguard, who co-wrote the script with BAFTA-winning writer David Wolstencroft, best known for Spooks and The Escape Artist.
The film was shot entirely on location across France and Italy, and is co-produced by Gaumont and Amazon MGM Studios.

Simona Tabasco, best known for The White Lotus, and Victor Belmondo, known for Bastion 36, round out the cast as two European stars on the rise.
Principal photography took place across multiple locations across both France and Italy, lending the heist an authentic, on-the-ground feel you just wouldn’t get from studio sets.
