Grand Theft Auto V (1998) begins on a cold Christmas night in Ludendorff, North Yankton, where Michael, Trevor, and Brad carry out a daring bank robbery. The plan goes violently wrong. Both Brad and Michael are shot — Brad is presumed dead, while Michael fakes his death and vanishes. Years later in Los Santos, Michael De Santa lives in forced retirement under a new identity, surrounded by wealth but consumed by guilt and family conflict. When he meets Franklin Clinton, a young criminal searching for power and direction, Michael is drawn back into the world he tried to escape. Their partnership leads to a major jewelry store robbery. Living in poverty on the outskirts of Los Santos, Michael’s former friend Trevor Philips operates Trevor Philips Enterprises, a criminal operation built on arms dealing, drug trafficking, and pure chaos. During a television news report, Trevor learns that a massive jewelry store has been robbed and realizes that Michael is still alive. Trevor confronts Michael in Los Santos. After their tense reunion, Michael introduces Trevor to Franklin, forming a dangerous three-man partnership. Hunted by federal agents and rival criminals, the trio plans increasingly risky heists in a dark, character-driven crime drama rooted in late-1990s cinema.
