With two weeks to perfect their plan, Ocean and his eleven accomplices swoop down on the unsuspecting desert town and begin rehearsing for their big event. In this version, the aim is the highly secured underground vault of casino owner Harry Benedict (Andy Garcia), where the cash from his three profitable betting establishments is carefully tucked away. Fresh out of prison, he skips his parole order to stay in New Jersey, and hops across the country soliciting some skillful con artists to help him pilfer an easy 100 million plus. Forty years later, George Clooney retools Sinatra’s role as Danny Ocean and once again heads for the bright lights of the Nevada hotspot.

Sorry.In the original 1960s Ocean’s Eleven, Frank Sinatra heads a group of former World War II squadron buddies on a New Year’s Eve raid of five Las Vegas casinos.

I guess this belongs in the 'Oceans' thread. I just realised how fr off topic we were. The flyers in the duffel bags, the logo on the floor, the timing, the tapes - everything about that stupid robbery confuses me! Every time I think I have it figured out, I lose it and get all confuzzled all over again! Katie - Truly sorry. I was always thrown off by the flyers in the duffel bags myself. Do you have to be a member of one of the professional organisations or are there online sites where anyone can see them? I did want to ask you, though, how you get access to screenplays. It's really not important, just annoying. You may be right about the deleted scene scenario.ĭon't go to any trouble. I'll have to dig out the screenplay to make sure. You made me have a 'Duh!' moment because that's such an obvious answer - but if there was another way in/out of the vault (obviously easier than lowering yourself down a shaft on a rope!) why didn't they go in that way in the first place? It never occurred to me that he might have an alternate route to use. Danny had the plans for every inch of the casino, so the assumption is that he had an alternate way in and out of the room.
