The victims of a huge stock market scam decide to take revenge by robbing the luxurious apartment where the businessman responsible for their ruin is under house arrest… Such is the delicious pitch of this Central Park Heist, released in the hexagonal rooms in 2011.
Unlike the gentlemen robbers of the Ocean’s Eleven style, it’s a band of broken hands who take care of getting the job done in The Central Park Heist. All the stereotypes of losers are there: a flouted and reprimanded manager, a broker going bankrupt, a penniless concierge-to-be father…

Passionate about heist films, director Brett Ratner confided that he was inspired, for The Central Park Heist, by certain classics of the genre. The American thus cites The Anderson Gang by Sidney Lumet (1971), The Four Thugs by Peter Yates (1972) and The Underground Pirates by Joseph Sargent (1974).
Finally, we note that the tower which is at the heart of the Central Park Heist (whose original title is Tower Heist) was strongly inspired by the Trump Tower located in the heart of Manhattan. A large and beautiful apartment on the top floor of the Trump International Hotel, overlooking Central Park, served as a model for the setting of this film which grossed nearly $153 million worldwide, twice as much. than its initial budget.
