to reunite with his former partner, Rusty Ryan. Together they approach their wealthy associate Reuben Tishkoff in

with a proposal to rob three casinos— Bellagio, The Mirage, and MGM Grand—all owned by Tishkoff's rival, Terry Benedict. Anticipating that the casinos’ underground vault will hold more than $150 million during an upcoming high-profile boxing match, Ocean outlines a plan to infiltrate and rob the facility, which is protected by extensive security systems. Motivated by a desire to get back at Benedict, who previously forced him out of the casino business, Tishkoff agrees to fund the operation. Ocean and Ryan recruit eight specialists to carry out the heist: con man Frank Catton, retired grifter Saul Bloom, demolitions expert Basher Tarr, surveillance technician Livingston Dell, acrobat Yen, pickpocket Linus Caldwell, and the Malloy twins, Virgil and Turk, who serve as mechanics and drivers. A full-scale replica of the casino vault is constructed for practice, and each team member is assigned tasks to infiltrate the casinos, gather intel, and prepare for the operation. Linus, while tailing Benedict, learns that he is dating Tess, Ocean’s ex-wife. Concerned that Ocean’s true motivation is personal, Ryan considers aborting the plan, but Ocean insists on moving forward. Ocean later confronts Tess, rekindling unresolved tensions, and meets with Benedict, who has him forcibly removed and barred from his properties. On the night of the heist, Ocean deliberately gets himself captured by Benedict's security and detained in a surveillance-free room, where he is secretly aided by an accomplice. Meanwhile, the team initiates the plan: Saul, disguised as a high-roller, convinces Benedict to store a briefcase of valuable "jewels"—actually explosives—in the vault; Yen is smuggled inside the vault via a service cart; and Basher activates an electromagnetic pulse that disables power to the casino, including its security systems. With the power down, Ocean and Caldwell descend into the vault, subdue the guards, and use the disguised explosives to breach the vault door. Rusty contacts Benedict, informing him of the robbery and demanding that half the vault's contents be delivered to a waiting van or the entire haul will be destroyed. Benedict complies, only to later discover that the van was a decoy filled with worthless flyers and controlled remotely. Simultaneously, a

team storms the vault and detonates the remaining explosives, seemingly destroying the remaining cash. However, Benedict soon realizes the footage he saw of the vault was fabricated, as the floor lacks the recently added Bellagio logo. It is revealed that the crew had impersonated the SWAT team, entered the vault under that guise, and exited with the stolen money in duffel bags. Ocean, having returned to the secure room, is confronted by Benedict but is not implicated in the crime. Tess watches a surveillance feed showing Benedict choosing the money over her, prompting her to leave him. Although Ocean is arrested for violating his parole, he and Tess reconcile before his departure. Three to six months later, Ocean is released from prison and picked up by Tess and Rusty. As they drive away, Benedict’s men follow closely behind.

Reception

Box office

''Ocean’s Eleven'' had a production budget of approximately $85 million. It opened in the United States on December 7, 2001, and earned an estimated $38.1 million during its opening weekend, debuting at number one at the domestic box office and displacing ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' from the top position. At the time, it set a new record for the highest opening weekend in December, surpassing '' What Women Want''. The record stood for only two weeks before being overtaken by '' The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''. The film also achieved the largest opening weekend for both Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, surpassing ''Interview with the Vampire'' (1994) and ''Runaway Bride'' (1999), respectively. For George Clooney, it marked the third-highest domestic opening of his career at the time, trailing only '' Batman & Robin'' and '' The Perfect Storm''. ''Ocean’s Eleven'' went on to gross $183.4 million in the United States and Canada and $267.3 million in international markets, for a worldwide total of $450.7 million. It remained Clooney’s highest-grossing film until the release of ''Gravity'' in 2013.
