Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of Los Angeles, Crime 101 is a gripping crime thriller that explores the fine line between predator and prey. Chris Hemsworth stars as an enigmatic jewel thief whose string of high-profile heists has left police scrambling for answers. When he sets his sights on the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker, played by Halle Berry, who finds herself at a personal crossroads.
As the stakes skyrocket, a relentless detective, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo, begins to suspect a pattern to the thief’s actions and is determined to unravel the mystery before it’s too late. But with each move, the boundaries between the hunter and the hunted become increasingly blurred. All three characters are forced to confront life-altering decisions, culminating in a thrilling realization: there’s no turning back.
Based on Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella, Crime 101 is adapted and directed by Bart Layton (known for American Animals and The Imposter). The film boasts a powerhouse cast, including Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte, who each bring an electric energy to this taut, high-stakes drama.
With taut direction and a sharp script, Crime 101 explores not only the mechanics of a heist but also the deep psychological struggles that drive each of its characters. As the tension mounts and the final heist nears, Crime 101 promises to be a must-see for fans of smart, character-driven thrillers. Don’t miss it when it hits cinemas on February 12, 2026.
