Showtime announced today the premiere date for Heist 88, a new crime drama film starring Emmy® Award winner Courtney B. Vance.
Multi-award-winning actor Courtney B. Vance (The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, Lovecraft Country) leads the cast of Heist 88, a crime drama inspired by true events.
Set in a time before widespread computerization and the vast cybersecurity of today, Heist 88 centers on Jeremy Horne (Vance), a criminal mastermind with an innate ability to convince anyone to do just about anything. In deciding to pull one last job before going to prison, he recruits four young bank employees to steal close to $80 million dollars in a daring and brazen assault on the U.S. banking system.
Costars in the film include Keesha Sharp (The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story) as Bree Barnes, a smart, elegant political consultant who possesses a criminal mind and Jeremy’s love interest; Bentley Green (61st Street) as Marshall King, a cocky and energetic house music DJ and Jeremy’s nephew; Keith David (The Nice Things) as Raymond “Buddha Ray” Oliver, a master safecracker and mentor to Jeremy; Xavier Clyde (City on Fire) as Danny Pugh, a nerdy comic book collector who is brilliant with numbers and data and loves research but has given up on his job at the bank; Nican Robinson (Beef) as Rick Windom, a young, loyal bank employee working in “the back of the bank” for nearly six years, with dreams of becoming a stockbroker; and Precious Way (Days of our Lives) as LaDonna Sanders, a bright and beautiful bank employee who is ambitious but unseen at First Chicago Bank.
Heist 88 premieres Friday, September 29, exclusively on Paramount+ with Showtime, and on linear Showtime on Sunday, October 1, at 9 pm ET/PT.
A production of MTV Entertainment Studios, Bassett Vance Productions, and Gunpowder & Sky, the film is written by Dwayne Johnson-Cochran (Minor Adjustments) and directed by Menhaj Huda (Kidulthood). It is executive produced by Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance, Lynnette Ramirez and Dwayne Johnson-Cochran for Bassett Vance Productions, and Van Toffler and Barry Barclay for Gunpowder & Sky. Amal Baggar, Mychael Chinn, and Donny Hugo Herran serve as executive producers for MTV Entertainment Studios, with Carlos Lugo serving as executive in charge of production.
