It's Not Just a Robbery. It's Payback.
| When the staff of New York City's most expensive and luxurious condominium discovers that the billionaire investment advisor living in the penthouse has plundered their retirement fund, they take matters into their own hands. Convinced that light-fingered Wall Street Titan Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) has stashed his ill-gotten millions in his apartment, building manager Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) rallies his troops and enlists the help of small-time thief Slide (Eddie Murphy/b>) to make sure they get back what's rightfully theirs. These rookie thieves?including high-strung concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), broke ex-Wall Streeter Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick), new bellhop Dev'Reaux (Michael Pena) and feisty maid Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe)?know the building better than anyone. It turns out they've been casing the place for years...they just didn't know it. |

Editor's Note
The workers at a posh Central Park condominium plot to steal back their pensions from the thieving Wall Street billionaire who's about to get away with the ultimate white-collar crime in this heist comedy starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Financial giant Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) has just been placed under house arrest in his luxury New York City penthouse for cleaning out his investors to the tune of two billion dollars. Meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the financial spectrum, Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) earns a modest living as the manager of The Tower -- the luxurious building where Shaw resides. Upon learning that the building staffers who entrusted Shaw with their retirement funds are about to lose their life savings, and that the thief will likely get off scot-free, Josh convinces a small group of Tower employees and a downtrodden former resident that Shaw has stashed a million-dollar safety net somewhere in his opulent penthouse, and that it's theirs for the taking if they can just slip past security. With dim-witted concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), under-educated electrical engineer Enrique (Michael Peña), safecracking maid Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe) and downtrodden former resident Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick) to back him, Josh recruits crafty swindler Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help get their money back. Although the security in Arthur's condo is unusually tight, between Josh's knowledge of the building and Slide's sleight of hand, this ragtag gang of thieves just might have what it takes to get the job done.

| Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) is a building manager for The Tower, an elite condo high rise in Manhattan. They cater to very wealthy residents and strive to provide attentive and devoted service. His staff are many, but include father-to-be concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), new bellhop Dev'Reaux (Michael Pena), and Jamaican immigrant maid Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe). One day they discover that one of their premier residents - investment mogul Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) - has gone the way of Bernie Madoff, and "madoff" with the retirement accounts he was managing for the employees of The Tower. The group soon realizes that regardless of whether he is charged or manages to get off, they'll have lost their life savings. However, they suspect that Shaw actually still has the money, just squirreled away somewhere in his posh Tower loft. By joining up with disgruntled resident Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick) and the only pseudo-thief any of them knows (Eddie Murphy), the group plans a heist to get their money back. At The Tower. A Tower Heist, if you will....read the full review | |
