Transylvania University in Kentucky has one of the most rare and expensive book collections in the United States. Four college kids decide to try to steal some of these books. Warren (Evan Peters), Spencer (Barry Keoghan), Eric (Jared Abrahamson) and Chas (Blake Jenner) attempt to pull off one of the most crazy and stupid heists in U.S. history. Will their plan pay off?

This film is based on a true story. The best part of the movie is when it cuts away to the real people who committed this crime and they give their takes on a particular situation. It is almost hilarious the way they remember things differently than each other. Sometimes it is impossible to believe that four college kids would be this stupid. But, that just makes the film that much better. All of the actors are good in their roles. It is fast-paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wait to see what dumb thing these guys will do next. The Husband and I are still talking about these guys and what they tried to pull off. This was an original take on a heist film. Very entertaining. Go see it.
