Plot summary
The world’s greatest con men, the Brothers Bloom, have made a living off of swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue.
Stephen (Ruffalo) and Bloom (Brody), and their silent partner and sidekick Bang-Bang (Kikuchi) team up for one last job, conning beautiful heiress Penelope (Weisz) by taking her on a tour of the world and relieving her of US$2.5 million.
On the way, Bloom (who has no first name in the entire movie) falls for Penelope, which complicates the con severely.
