The Plot: A Meticulous Heist Meets a Determined Detective
Based on the acclaimed 2020 novella by Don Winslow, Crime
101 is a grounded, realistic take on the "one last job"
trope.
- The
Thief: Chris Hemsworth stars as Mike Davis (also known as
James), a highly disciplined jewel thief who operates along the Pacific
Coast Highway (the 101). He follows a strict set of rules—"Crime
101"—to avoid leaving DNA or any evidence behind.
- The
Detective: Unlike his colleagues who believe a gang is behind the
robberies, Detective Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo) is convinced it’s
a lone operator.
- The
Conflict: When Mike decides to go for one final multi-million dollar
score, his paths cross with a disillusioned insurance broker, Sharon
(Halle Berry), and a psychotic biker, Ormon (Barry Keoghan). The
result is a high-tension collision where every choice has deadly
consequences.
