Trailer for David Leitch's Action Thriller HOW TO ROB A BANK Unleashes Nicholas Hoult and a Crew of Viral Outlaws

Amazon MGM Studios has dropped the first trailer for How to Rob a Bank, the latest action-packed crime thriller from David Leitch, the filmmaker behind John Wick, Bullet Train, The Fall Guy, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2.

If you're looking for a stylish heist movie with a modern twist, this one looks like it could deliver the goods when it hits theaters this September.

The film follows a crew of bank robbers who aren't interested in operating in the shadows. Instead, they're documenting and broadcasting their crimes across social media, turning themselves into viral sensations while exposing what they see as corruption within the banking system.

Their growing notoriety attracts unwanted attention, putting them squarely in the sights of a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer determined to bring them down.

As the chase intensifies, the crew finds themselves pushed further than ever before, risking everything for their cause and setting their sights on their biggest score yet.

The movie boasts a terrific ensemble cast led by Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater, Pete Davidson, and John C. Reilly, who plays one of the federal agents tracking the crew.

The trailer leans heavily into Leitch's trademark mix of slick action, fast-paced energy, and larger-than-life characters.

What makes this setup especially interesting is the social media angle, with the robbers turning their crimes into a public spectacle while framing their mission as a strike against powerful financial institutions. It gives the film a contemporary edge that helps it stand apart from more traditional heist stories.

Leitch directs from a screenplay by Mark Bianculli. The film was produced by Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, Allan Mandelbaum, Leitch, and Kelly McCormick for MGM, Imagine Entertainment, and 87North Productions.

How to Rob a Bank opens in theaters nationwide on September 4, 2026, and based on this first trailer, it looks like audiences are in for a fun, high-stakes ride packed with action, tension, and plenty of chaos.
