Zoë Kravitz and Nicholas Hoult Face Off in David Leitch’s High-Stakes ‘How to Rob a Bank’ Trailer That Teases a Deadly Game of Cat and Mouse

How to Rob a Bank has released its first trailer, giving audiences a clear look at David Leitch’s latest action-heavy heist thriller.

The film brings together a strong ensemble cast led by Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz, alongside Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Pete Davidson, and John C. Reilly. It follows a group of criminals who build their reputation through viral attention while carrying out increasingly bold bank robberies.

At the center of the story is a modern twist on the classic heist formula. The crew doesn’t just plan crimes in secret. They actively broadcast their robberies online, turning themselves into social media figures. This decision eventually puts them in serious danger when law enforcement begins to close in.

The official synopsis explains that the group’s online fame becomes a double-edged sword. A veteran FBI agent and a skilled software engineer begin tracking them, creating a tense pursuit that turns into a cat-and-mouse game. Even as the pressure increases, the criminals continue pushing forward with what they believe is their most ambitious job yet.

David Leitch, known for directing high-energy action films and helping shape the John Wick franchise, is behind the project. His style is known for fast-paced sequences, practical stunt work, and a mix of action and humor. This reputation has helped him work with major stars across Hollywood, and this film continues that trend with one of his largest casts so far.

The script is written by Mark Bianculli, and the film is produced by Leitch along with Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, Allan Mandelbaum, and Kelly McCormick. Ben Ormand and Bianculli serve as executive producers.

The trailer highlights both the action and the modern setting of the story. Social media plays a major role, shaping how the characters are seen by the public and how quickly their crimes escalate into a global spectacle. That idea places the film in a growing wave of heist stories that explore digital fame and surveillance culture.

The film also arrives at a time when heist movies are gaining renewed attention. Recent projects and upcoming releases continue to revisit the genre in different ways, from traditional robbery stories to more technology-driven plots. How to Rob a Bank leans heavily into that modern angle, focusing on visibility, viral attention, and the risks that come with living life online.

Amazon MGM Studios will release How to Rob a Bank exclusively in theaters on September 4, with a streaming release on Prime Video expected later. The newly released trailer positions the film as a fast, stylish thriller built around tension, fame, and the high cost of staying one step ahead of the law.
