Plot Summary

One year after outwitting the FBI, the remaining members of the Four Horsemen: J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney and Jack Wilder are in hiding, awaiting further instructions from The Eye, the secret society of magicians they've been recruited into. Atlas, having grown tired of waiting for a mission, seeks out The Eye himself. His search leads him to an underground tunnel in which he hears a voice that tells him that his wait may be coming to an end. The Horseman handler FBI agent Dylan Rhodes ultimately assigns them a new mission, exposing corrupt businessman Owen Case, whose new software secretly steals data on its mobile users for Case's benefit. Lula May is added to the team to replace former member Henley Reeves, who has left the Horsemen.The Horsemen hijack the launch party for the new software, but the show is interrupted by a mysterious individual who reveals to the world that Wilder, believed to be dead, is actually alive, and that Dylan Rhodes is their mole, forcing Rhodes to escape. While escaping, the Horsemen enter their escape tube on a roof and emerge in Macau, where they are captured by mercenaries and Chase McKinney, Merritt's twin brother. The Horsemen are then brought before Chase's employer, technology prodigy Walter Mabry, Case's former business partner who faked his death after Case stole Walter's company.Mabry conscripts the Horsemen into stealing the data-mining device developed by Case to prevent Case from using it. The chip allows the user to Decrypt and access any electronic device around the world. Atlas agrees to steal the device and contacts The Eye to arrange the device handover once stolen. Meanwhile, Rhodes is branded a fugitive and forced to spring his rival Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), whom Rhodes blames for the death of his father, out of jail for help. Bradley tells Rhodes that the horsemen are in Macau. On the place, Bradley tells Rhodes that he did not kill Rhode's father 30 years ago by luring him into a iron safe escape trick that he was not trained on. Rhodes does not believe Bradley.The Horsemen infiltrate the facility and steal the chip. Atlas is then confronted by Mabry, revealing that Atlas had been fooled into thinking that Mabry was The Eye. Rhodes intervenes and pretends to retrieve the device but is captured by Mabry's forces and taken to a nearby yacht where he learns Mabry is acting on behalf of his father, Arthur Tressler, the businessman whom Rhodes employed the Horsemen to expose in the first film. Rhodes tells Arthur that Arthur's insurance firm denied his mother the claim money after his father died in the iron safe escape attempt. Which is why Rhodes spent 30 yrs plotting his revenge on Arthur.Tressler places Rhodes in a replica of the same safe that his father died in and leaves him to drown, but Rhodes escapes. Arthur is shown to be working with Bradley, who seems to have delivered Rhodes to Arthur.After the rescue, the Horsemen find that the chip they had stolen appears to be a fake. Rhodes and the Horsemen broadcast that they will be performing live in London at midnight on New Year's Eve. Mabry and Tressler think that they have the computer chip, they make haste to London, where the Horsemen are performing a series of tricks live on the streets. Mabry, Tressler and Chase discover that Rhodes is still alive and capture the five, before boarding them on his private plane.Mabry takes the chip card from them and Rhodes, along with the other Horsemen, are thrown out of the plane in flight. However, Tressler finds that the plane has never taken off, and instead they were tricked into boarding a plane on a barge in the middle of the river Thames, their criminal activities being broadcast live to the world by the Horsemen in the process.Mabry, Tressler and Chase are arrested by the FBI, and Rhodes entrusts the information they've gathered on the real criminals' activities to the FBI, who allows him a head start to escape.Rhodes and the Horsemen are then taken by Li to a secret library in Greenwich Observatory where they are reunited with Bradley, who reveals himself to be senior in the Eye's leadership and Lionel Shrike's partner, having masqueraded as his rival as part of their mutual act. Before Bradley leaves, he asks Rhodes to be his successor in the Eye and request that the horsemen enter a curtain.The Horsemen, with Rhodes, go behind the curtain, and find a door behind it. They enter the room and find a staircase; the camera zooms out to the stairs, forming an Eye.
