Summaries

Plot Summary

Crime 101 is a crime thriller scheduled for release in 2026. The film is directed by Bart Layton and is based on a novella by Don Winslow. The story follows a professional jewel thief whose carefully structured rules allow him to evade capture, while a veteran detective starts to recognize the logic behind the crimes and closes in. The narrative unfolds within the world of organized, high-stakes theft, focusing on procedure rather than spectacle. The central dynamic is built around the psychological contest between criminal precision and investigative persistence, with attention given to routine, pattern recognition, and personal codes of conduct. Rather than expanding into a sprawling crime saga, the film keeps its scope tight, centering on method, discipline, and the slow escalation of risk. The setting moves through urban environments tied to elite crime and law enforcement, grounding the story in professional spaces rather than personal melodrama. Thematically, the film addresses control, identity, and the consequences of long-term moral compromise. Crime 101 is suited for viewers interested in restrained crime storytelling, character-driven tension, and procedural-focused thrillers.
