Jordan takes on dual roles as both director and star, marking his second feature directorial effort following "Creed III." The screenplay was penned by Drew Pearce ("The Fall Guy") and Wes Tooke ("Midway").
Arjona portrays a relentless former FBI agent hot on the trail of Jordan's master thief, Thomas Crown. Meanwhile, Branagh's insidious villain lurks, seeking to bring Crown down. However, Crown's true objective is to return the stolen and sold precious artifacts to their original creators.
