Trailer #2: What you need to know
Amazon MGM Studios has dropped the second official trailer for Crime 101, giving audiences a fuller look at Bart Layton’s sun-bleached Los Angeles heist thriller. The new preview tightens the film’s core setup: an elusive thief running high-stakes jobs along the iconic 101 freeway follows a strict set of guidelines known as the “Crime 101” rules, while a determined detective closes in.

The trailer leans into kinetic set pieces, cat-and-mouse tension, and short character moments that hint at shifting alliances as the multimillion-dollar heist approaches.
Plot snapshot
Crime 101 centers on three intersecting figures: the enigmatic thief (played by Chris Hemsworth), a relentless detective named Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo), and a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who becomes entangled in the scheme. As the thief prepares what he hopes will be his last and largest job, lines between hunter and hunted start to blur — forcing all players to confront the cost of their choices.
The premise is adapted from Don Winslow’s novella of the same name and keeps the focus on planning, deception, and moral compromises at the center of a classic heist story.

- Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nick Nolte, Halle Berry
