is a 2021 American action comedy film written, directed, and produced by Rawson
Marshall Thurber. Dwayne Johnson, who also served as a producer, stars as an FBI agent who reluctantly teams up with a renowned art thief (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch an even more notorious criminal. Two thousand years ago, Roman general Mark Antony gifts Egyptian queen Cleopatra three bejeweled eggs as a wedding gift symbolizing his devotion. The eggs are lost to time until two are found by a farmer in 1907, but the last one remains lost. In 2021, Special Agent John Hartley, a criminal profiler for the FBI, is assigned to assist Interpol agent Urvashi Das in investigating the potential theft of one of the eggs kept on display at the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. The head of security dismisses the concerns, but Hartley reveals the egg on display is a forgery and the real egg has been stolen. However, before the room is sealed shut, international art thief Nolan Booth manages to steal the egg. He escapes to his home in Bali with the egg, but finds Hartley, along with Das and an Interpol strike team there. They arrest Booth and take the egg into custody. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Booth's main competition, Sarah Black "The Bishop", disguised as one of the strike team members, swaps the real egg with another forgery. The next day, Das confronts Hartley and has him incarcerated in a remote Russian prison in the same cell as Booth, believing he's responsible for the theft. Shortly after arrival, Black proposes to Booth that they work together to find the third egg as he knows about its whereabouts. Booth declines her modest offer. Hartley suggests he and Booth work together to beat her. If Booth helps him imprison her, Booth will take his place as the number one art thief in the world. The pair escapes from prison and heads to Valencia to steal the second egg, in possession of notorious arms dealer Sotto Voce who is having a masquerade ball. There, they encounter Black, who also intends to steal it. The three arrive in Voce's vault where Hartley and Booth fight Black. Voce arrives with his security detail while Black reveals she is working with Voce. They torture Hartley until Booth reveals the location of the third egg. Black double-crosses Voce and leaves for Egypt where Booth claims it is. After leaving Valencia, Booth reveals to Hartley that the egg is actually in Argentina, a location only he knows as it was inscribed on his late father's beloved watch which had once belonged to Adolf Hitler's personal art curator Rudolph Zeich. The duo searches the jungles of Argentina where they find a secret bunker. Inside are countless Nazi artifacts, among them the third egg. Black arrives to steal the egg from the duo, only to be interrupted by Das and a team of local police. Hartley, Booth and Black escape in an antique 1931 Mercedes-Benz 770, being chased by Das in an armored vehicle. Eventually, they exit near the top of a waterfall where they jump. Booth swims to shore with the egg, only to discover that Hartley and Black are actually romantic and professional partners and Hartley was never FBI but a conman like his father, both going by the alias "Bishop". Booth surrenders the egg and they leave him handcuffed. In Cairo, Hartley and Black deliver the three eggs to an Egyptian billionaire, in time for his daughter's wedding. The wedding is subsequently interrupted by Das' Interpol raid who arrest the bride and her father. Six months later in Sardinia, Hartley and Black are met again by Booth who informs them that he told Das about their Cayman Islands account containing the $300 million payout, which Das freezes leaving them with no money. Booth also reveals that Interpol is on their way to capture them, but offers them a chance to escape if they help him with a new heist, which requires three individuals to pull off. They agree and escape, and Das places red notices on all three of them as they begin their heist at the Louvre in Paris.
