'What's up guys, How To Rob a Bank here, and welcome to my stream!'

Director David Leitch, of Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train fame, dares to ask: What if Michael Mann's 1995 American crime-thriller Heat took place in the modern day? The result is the daring, adrenaline-pumping action film How to Rob A Bank.

Yet as the thieves grow more confident, it becomes increasingly apparent that they're looking to do more than "make content" just to rake in views. The robbers have a personal connection to why banks are their target, and it's up to the FBI to find out what it is before the animal-masked hooligans can pull off the biggest score yet.

Leitch's previous films have shown that the director isn't afraid to combine biting social commentary with explosions and firepower. How To Rob a Bank looks to be no different, only with the added benefit of adding an uncommon perspective of streaming as a tool to highlight what people are willing to do in order to enact change.
