Movie Story
“Cash Out” follows professional thief Mason Goddard (John Travolta), a man known for his meticulously planned heists. Together with his younger brother Shawn (Lukas Haas), Mason sets out to execute their most ambitious job yet: robbing a heavily secured bank. The duo, driven by the promise of a massive payday, meticulously plan the heist, recruiting a small team of specialists, including Anton (Quavo), an expert in explosives. However, things spiral out of control when an unexpected security breach triggers alarms, trapping Mason and his team inside the bank. To make matters worse, law enforcement, led by the determined and experienced Captain Fabrizio (Matt Gerald), quickly surrounds the building.

Tensions inside the bank rise as Mason finds himself negotiating with Amelia Decker (Kristin Davis), the lead police negotiator and his former lover. Their history complicates the already tense situation, as Amelia is caught between her professional duty and the unresolved emotions she has for Mason. Meanwhile, Shawn, impulsive and panicked, struggles to keep calm under pressure, questioning whether they will make it out alive. As negotiations stall and the clock ticks down, the team’s desperation begins to surface, with alliances shifting and paranoia creeping in.

Outside the bank, Amelia wrestles with her feelings for Mason, knowing that his criminal actions could lead to a tragic end. Inside, Mason tries to maintain control, but as the police force ramps up their efforts, the cracks within his team begin to show. Vernon Richter (Joel Cohen), a ruthless gang leader who secretly funded the heist, begins pressuring Mason from the outside, forcing him into even more dangerous choices. With time running out, Mason must confront both his past and present mistakes to find a way out of the deadly situation he’s created.

As the film reaches its climax, a brutal showdown unfolds inside the bank. Betrayals are revealed, and Mason is forced to make a life-or-death decision. Will he manage to escape with the money and protect his brother, or will this heist mark the end of his career and his freedom? “Cash Out” explores the thin line between loyalty and greed, love and duty, as Mason races against time to survive.
