Logan Lucky

The 2017 American heist comedy film directed by Steven Soderbergh follows Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum), a former coal miner from West Virginia who loses his job working on tunnel construction beneath the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Facing financial difficulties and the impending relocation of his daughter Sadie (Farrah Mackenzie) with her mother Bobbie Jo (Katie Holmes) and stepfather Moody (David Denman), Jimmy devises a plan to rob the speedway during a NASCAR race. He enlists his brother Clyde (Adam Driver), an Iraq War veteran who lost his arm and now works as a bartender, and their sister Mellie (Riley Keough), along with incarcerated explosives expert Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), whom they must secretly break out of prison for the heist. The plan involves a complex scheme to infiltrate the speedway's cash transport system, utilizing underground tunnels and diversion tactics, including staging a prison riot. Despite numerous obstacles and the involvement of FBI agents, including Sarah Grayson (Hilary Swank), the team successfully executes the robbery, with Jimmy cleverly ensuring financial security for himself and his loved ones. The film blends elements of comedy and crime thriller, offering a unique take on the heist genre, focusing on charismatic characters and their relationships. Director Steven Soderbergh, returning to filmmaking after a hiatus, delivers an engaging and witty film that received positive reviews for its original approach and performances.​
