Synopsis
Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a
comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall
Street swindler who stiffed them. After the workers at a luxury
Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has
stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to
reclaim what he took from them.
Queens native Josh Kovacs (Stiller) has managed one of the most
luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than
a decade. Under his watchful eye, nothing goes undetected. In the
swankiest unit atop Josh’s building, Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw
(Alan Alda) is under house arrest after being caught stealing two
billion from his investors. The hardest hit among those he
defrauded? The tower staffers whose pensions he was entrusted to
manage.
With only days before Arthur gets away with the perfect crime,
Josh’s crew turns to petty crook Slide (Murphy) to plan the nearly
impossible…to steal what they are sure is hidden in Arthur’s
guarded condo. Though amateurs, these rookie thieves know the
building better than anyone. Turns out they’ve been casing the
place for years, they just didn’t know it.
