Ocean's Eleven (DVD)

Daniel ‘Danny’ Ocean is released from jail on the premise that he is a reformed character. This is, naturally, completely untrue, and his first task is to engage the services of his friend a former partner in crime Rusty ‘Russ’ Ryan. It would seem that Ocean’s stint behind bars has served only to enable him to plan his next (and greatest) crime – an ambitious assault on a string of highly lucrative Las Vegas casinos.
