Lift [2024]
Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title Lift and I would like to share you with here.
The movie is about a master thief is wooed by his ex-girlfriend and the FBI to pull off an impossible heist with his international crew on a 777 passenger flight from London to Zurich.
It begins when Cyrus, a renowned international thief, leads a heist crew that consists of Denton, pilot Camila, hacker Mi-Sun, safe cracker Magnus, and ent
They undertake two simultaneous thefts, stealing a Van Gogh painting in London while staging the fake kidnapping of renowned NFT artist N8 in Venice.
At first, N8 is shocked that he is kidnapped, but Cyrus points out that famous paintings rapidly increase in value after being stolen. He says that his crew stole the Van Gogh painting and sold it in the black market for 20 million dollars to buy N8 NFTs.
After being “kidnapped”, N8's NFT ballooned in value to 89 million dollars. N8 decides to play along after being promised a cut of the money.
However, Interpol agent Abby Gladwell, a former fling of Cyrus, uncovers evidence implicating Denton, Luke, and Magnus in the thefts.
Rather than proceed with charges against the crew, Abby’s superior, Commander Huxley, leverages their legal predicament to force them to help capture billionaire Lars Jorgenson.
Who intends to make more money by working with the hacking group Leviathan to stage a massive flooding in Europe, allowing him to make billions in profit through stock manipulation.
As Leviathan requires payment in untraceable gold bullion, Jorgenson has arranged for a shipment of gold to be taken from his vault in London and flown to Leviathan’s bank in Zurich via a commercial airliner.
As part of the deal, Cyrus insists Abby join the team to provide certain cover for Interpol.
The crew determines they will only be able to steal the gold while the airliner is in midair.
To do so, they procure a private jet that Camila will fly directly underneath the airliner, allowing Mi-Sun to switch the radar signals to make it seem like the plane is still on course while the crew diverts it to a private airfield.
After Magnus cracks the safe and Jorgenson's henchmen are incapacitated, the crew will extract the gold via the jet.
Their timing is complicated when Jorgenson executes a mole in his organization and moves up the delivery date.
Nevertheless, the crew is ready on time. After successfully diverting the plane, Jorgenson’s henchmen attempt a hijack, resulting in the plane crash landing.
Magnus, Abby, Cyrus, and Camila are captured. Magnus escapes on the ground, while the remaining three are taken aboard the jet with the gold, headed for Jorgenson’s estate in Tuscany.
Desperate for the gold to not reach Jorgenson, Huxley orders the plane shot down by NATO.
Harry, the crew’s contact at air traffic control, works with Camila to get a message to the pilots that there are hostages on board, forcing them to stand down.
Another fight between the crew and Jorgenson’s henchmen results in the jet crash landing on the grounds of Jorgenson’s villa.
Abby, Cyrus, and Camila are captured at gunpoint by Jorgenson, who also executes Leviathan’s representative after they decide to cancel the deal.
Find out what happened next after they execute Leviathan’s representative after they decide to cancel the deal, as the movie gets interesting.
