"Christmas in Beverly Hills, California. A time when everyone is nice, tolerant and generous." Thus begins this crime comedy about the biggest robbery in the history of Las Vegas. Danny Ocean decided with his friends, World War II veterans of the 82nd Airborne Division, to choose the five largest casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada (Sahara, Riviera, Desert Inn, The Sands, The Flamingo). Everyone is a man in their place and with great preparation and a plan they should have nothing to worry about. But ... As Murphy says, the expected doesn't happen and the unexpected does. So when the stepfather of one of them finds out who the mysterious robber is, he has to figure out how to get out of the city with a loot. And before the police find them.
