Ocean's 8

Ocean's Eight (stylized as Ocean's 8) is a 2018 American heist comedy film directed by Gary Ross and written by Ross and Olivia Milch. A spin-off of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy, it is the fourth installment in the Ocean's franchise. The film features an ensemble cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter.

The plot follows Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny Ocean, who assembles a team of women to orchestrate an elaborate heist at the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The film premiered at Alice Tully Hall on June 5, 2018, and was released theatrically in the United States on June 8, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures—exactly eleven years after the release of Ocean's Thirteen (2007). It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the ensemble cast and stylish direction. A commercial success, the film grossed $298 million worldwide against a production budget of approximately $70 million.

Newly paroled con artist Debbie Ocean, the younger sister of Danny Ocean, reunites with her former partner Lou Miller to plan an ambitious new heist. The target is the Toussaint, a $150 million diamond necklace owned by Cartier, which Debbie intends to steal during the upcoming Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

To execute the plan, Debbie and Lou assemble a team of specialists: Rose Weil, a struggling fashion designer facing IRS debt; Amita, a skilled jeweler seeking independence from her overbearing mother; Leslie "Nine Ball" Jordan, a proficient hacker; Constance, a street hustler and pickpocket; and Tammy, a suburban mother who fences stolen goods.

The plan hinges on convincing actress Daphne Kluger, a prominent guest at the Gala, to wear the Toussaint so the team can manipulate its access. Rose is hired as Daphne's stylist and, along with Amita, scans the necklace at Cartier to create a cubic zirconia replica. Tammy secures a temporary position at Vogue to gain access to the guest list, while Lou infiltrates the event as a nutritionist. Nine Ball works to create a temporary blind spot in the museum's security system.

Debbie, seeking personal closure, manipulates Daphne into inviting Claude Becker—an art dealer whose betrayal led to Debbie's incarceration—as her date to the Gala. Lou confronts Debbie about risking the heist for revenge, but Debbie reassures her that it will not jeopardize the plan.

On the night of the Gala, Daphne becomes ill after consuming spiked soup, prompting her to rush to the bathroom. As Cartier's male guards wait outside, Constance removes the necklace unnoticed and passes it to Amita, who quickly disassembles it into smaller pieces.
