When Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) makes the mistake of building a
casino hotel with one of Las Vegas' most hated businessmen, Willy Banks
(Al Pacino), he gets cut out of the deal and ends up in the hospital after
a heart attack. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) tries to help his old friend
out by giving Banks a chance to restore Reuben's share of the hotel, but
the vindictive Banks dismisses him without any regard. Six months later,
with Banks' investment thriving as the richest hotel in the city and the
ultimate spot for gamblers and high rollers, Ocean and his crew decide
to bring him down in epic fashion. With the help of their former nemesis,
casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who is also out to settle the
score against Banks, his fierce rival, they scheme to find a way to bankrupt
Banks on his casino's opening night. This time, they are not in it for
the money, but rather for revenge.
