Two of the funniest actors going round, Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig have have teamed up as the unlikely duo who orchestrate a robbery of a bank worth $17 milllion. They may seem like the most unlikely of characters to do such a thing but wait for it, its based on a true story.

Getting involved in a heist scheme is no easy feat but almost always ends up with someone eventually getting pinned as the scapegoat and has to run from hit men (Jason Sudeikis) & the cops which leads to a highly entertaining hour and a half of laughs. Also starring Owen Wilson, and Ken Marino ‘Masterminds’ opens in the US summer so guessing August over here in Oz.

Official synopsis:

In this action comedy based on true events, directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite; Nacho Libre), David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) discovers the true meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other people’s money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig) who soon lures him into the scheme of a lifetime.

Along with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers (Owen Wilson) and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible and makes off with $17 million in cash…only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall. With the bandits blowing the millions on lavish and ridiculous luxuries, they leave behind a glaring trail of evidence. Now on the lam and in over his head, David must dodge the authorities, evade a hilarious hit man, Mike McKinney (Jason Sudeikis), and try to turn the tables on the ones he trusted most.
