Robbing a bank is a bad idea. Robbing a bank and posting it online is a worse one. That is basically the whole pitch of How to Rob a Bank, and it is hard not to want to see how it goes wrong.
David Leitch, the stunt-man-turned-director behind The Fall Guy, has put Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz at the centre of a crew whose robberies turn them into internet celebrities, with every cop in the city watching their feed.
The film arrives in cinemas this Friday. Here is what you need to know.

What is How to Rob a Bank about?
A crew of bank robbers starts documenting their heists on social media. The more views they get, the bolder they become, and the closer the police get. Think Point Break for the influencer age, with Leitch’s trademark practical action.
The trailers show car chases, costumes, a lot of cash and a crew that seems to enjoy the attention a little too much.
How to Rob a Bank cast
Nicholas Hoult plays Ryan. Fresh from playing Lex Luthor in Superman, he gets a lead role with a lot more charm.
Zoë Kravitz plays Reagan Gardner. Pete Davidson plays Vince, John C. Reilly plays Agent West, Christian Slater plays Walton and Tati Gabrielle plays Skyler. Anna Sawai (Shōgun) and Rhenzy Feliz (The Penguin) round out the cast.
Why the release date moved
The film was first dated for September 4, 2026, then pushed two months to November 13. A planned Japanese release on the same day was cancelled.
November is crowded. It opens against Johnny Depp’s Ebenezer, a week ahead of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Leitch’s films usually do well with word of mouth, so the second weekend will matter.
Is How to Rob a Bank worth watching?
Reviews are not out at the time of writing. On paper, it is a strong mix: a director who knows action, a sharp hook and a cast with real chemistry. If you liked Bullet Train or Baby Driver, this is the one to book this weekend.
For Indian viewers, Sony handles the international release. We will update this page if an Indian date is confirmed.
